Basalt Columns and Fountain of Prades

Highlight • Natural Monument

Tap fresh water from the spring, rest on the bench by the Allier, cross the bridge and admire the impressive hexagonal basalt blocks from the suddenly cooled volcanic vents - then it's time for the winding climb to the Col.

Seuge

Highlight • Other

Beautiful route, but very difficult, steep and path often difficult to walk. And the little bridge over the Seuge was 30 cm under water and missed 2 meters on both sides to the bank. Back was no longer possible, so I crawled on my hands and knees to the other side. But Prades was insanely beautiful, almost heavenly

Seuge Valley viewpoint

On a small rocky outcrop you have a beautiful view over the Seuge valley.
Unfortunately, there is no rest bar.

Saint-André Church of Prades

Highlight • Religious Site

The current church was built in the 11th century by very influential families. It was undoubtedly an important place of passage. It depended on the Cluniac monastery of Sainte-Croix de Lavoûte-Chilhac. The latter is located 30 kilometers as the crow flies.

It is surely to Odilon de Mercoeur, fifth abbot of Cluny that we owe its construction.
