Gorges d'Héric, Natural canyon in Hérault, France.
The Héric Gorges wind through granite cliffs for 5 kilometers, creating a deep valley with numerous waterfalls and natural pools along the path.
The hamlet of Héric, located at the top of the gorges, displays traditional stone architecture with narrow streets dating from medieval times.
The surrounding Caroux mountains integrate into local folklore through the tale of Cebenna, a Titan's daughter searching for love across the landscape.
The trail starts at Mons-la-Trivalle parking lot and requires a 90-minute walk with a 300-meter elevation gain to reach the hamlet of Héric.
The gorges host France's largest population of mouflons, mountain sheep introduced to the area in 1956.
