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.

The Organ Pipes of Prades

Highlight • Natural Monument

At the exit of Prades, an impressive rock formation stands opposite the bridge which straddles the Allier. Right next door, a charming little beach invites you to stop and cool off in this magnificent basalt environment.
