Dominique Beguin, the village historian will make you discover Pradelles. Above Lake Naussac, the ancient fortified city of Pradelles, with its medieval streets lined with houses built over the centuries, offers a spectacular view of the entire Haut-Allier valley. Overlooking the Haut-Allier valley and Lake Naussac, at the crossroads of the old mule tracks, including the Chemin de Régordane (GR 700), Pradelles contains many historical monuments, memories of its prestigious past. Several kings of France, including Saint-Louis (in 1254), stopped there and, in 1878, Robert-Louis Stevenson did not fail to stop there (GR 70). The old town offers to the amateurs its old buildings and its exceptional panoramas, but also proposes to the hikers kilometers of old mule tracks.

Haute-Loire
Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

Dominating the valley of Haut Allier, on the Régordane road connecting the Auvergne to the Languedoc, this former stronghold was an important stage for merchants important the South food as well as for pilgrims on their way to Saint-Gilles and coming from Puy-en-Velay. The noble mansions with stone walls and arcades, whose high facades stand against the Cevennes gusts, are witnesses of this prosperous epoch, and have seen generations of travellers pass by, sometimes famous, like the Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson who gave his name to this road which became the GR 70.
