By staying at the Hotel Le Ponant, you can discover the cultural and historical past of the city of Pradelles and admire its architecture:
Overlooking the Haut Allier valley, on the Régordane road connecting Auvergne to Languedoc, this old fortified town was an important stopover for merchants importing food from the Midi as well as for pilgrims en route to Saint-Gilles and coming from Puy- en-Velay. Witnesses to this prosperous era, the noble residences with stone walls and arcades, whose high facades stand up against the Cévennes flurries, have seen generations of travelers, sometimes famous, pass by, like the Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson which gave its name to this route which became the GR 70.
