Joncels is a medieval village built around a bénédictine abbey and of its abbey strengthened, Saint-Pierre aux liens, who, would be the oldest monastery of the area (VIIe century). Independent until 909, it was attached to the abbey of Psalmodi located in Gard. Under the protection of the Bishop of Lodève, saint Fulcran, it knew a great prosperity with 28 churches under its dependence.
In 1361, the Pope Urbain V attached it to the abbey Saint Victor of Marseilles.
It has been only for a few years that the medieval village of Joncels left its fortifications, and if one builds now in his surroundings, air photograph makes it possible to follow the well defined layout of the old city girdled formerly of ramparts. It is also noticed that the Bénédictine Abbey was a fortress inside the fortified town.

For the pilgrims, Joncels remains a halt on the way of Saint Jacques de Compostelle.

The bénédictines Abbeys an abbey is a community (men or women) which devotes its life to the prayer, isolated of the rest of the world. It is known as bénédictine when the monks observe the rule of Saint Benoit de Nursie. This rule compels the monks with the reading and work.
