Hérault, Mediterranean river in Languedoc-Roussillon, France.
The Hérault River extends 147.6 kilometers from Mont Aigoual in the Cévennes mountains to the Mediterranean Sea near Agde.
The ancient Romans named this waterway Arauris, suggesting potential Pre-Celtic origins while maintaining possible Celtic connections through the centuries.
The river passes through Saint-Guilhem-le-Desert, where limestone gorges and medieval structures form part of regional heritage sites.
Between Bessan and the Mediterranean Sea, the river maintains navigable sections that connect to the Canal du Midi through specific junction points.
Small quantities of gold particles from Central Massif erosion can be found along the riverbanks throughout its course.
