The hamlet of Les Gardes

Description

Set high up on the south side of the Plomb du Cantal, this hamlet has lost none of its authentic charm. At an altitude of 1 200 m, the hamlet has a splendid vantage point over St Jacques des Blats and the valley of the River Cère.

The hamlet of Les Gardes is a lovely place to visit for its traditional architecture and history. Its name originates from the Occitan word "gardo" used to describe a high look-out point. The houses are built very close together and most of them date from before 1800.
