Overlooking the gorges of the Orbieu, Monjoi is a very small village grouping together its houses with their aged round tiled roofs. The church contains an altarpiece from 1638, a masterpiece in marble and sculpted wood. The canvas, whose edges are gilded with gold leaf, represents the Assumption. From the old bridge, you will have a view of the gorges and the Orbieu which passes under your feet. The hike "Au promontoire de l'Aigle" allows you to immerse yourself in this natural setting.
