Aumelas

Aumelas is a common French, located in the department of the Herault and the area Languedoc-Roussillon. Its inhabitants is called the “Aumelais”.

Geography

The commune is located at the east of the limit between the Arrondissement of Lodève and that of Montpellier. This limit corresponds to reliefs separating the plain from the Herault and the plains surrounding Montpellier. The communal territory extends on a plate culminating in the east with 349 meters in Large Puech and the south with 304 meters in the mountain from Mourre. The plate is inclined towards the west in direction of the valley of Herault.

This territory is made up almost primarily of wood and of Garrigue S and the population density is very low. The inhabitants concentrate in two hamlets: the Farmhouse of Arnaud in north where seat the town hall and Cabrials in south-west. Some dwellings are dispersed in the remainder of the commune.

The plate is notched valleys which give access to the commune by two secondary roads: D139 in north, the D114E in the south. D114 passes to the east and makes it possible to connect the commune to the trunk road 109 the north and the plain of the Canton of Pignan and to Montpellier and Sète to south-east.

This little populated territory is the subject of specific uses:

  • opening of private Hunting around the properties isolated and timbered at the top,
  • construction of a wind powerplant in the south, close to the limit with the commune of Villeveyrac, to benefit from the stripped plate open to the winds.

History

The ruins of a castle to the Farmhouse of Arnaud and of a vault with Cardonnet, in the east of the commune, are the vestiges of the durable presence to the Moyen-âge.
