  To
reach this “end of the world”, you must take a tiny road that
runs alongside the Bléone river, as if lost in its stony bed.
A lovely road lined with majestic mountain massifs and high cliffs containing
folds from erosion, a joy for climbers - and geologists, even the very youngest
!
Folds, whether Hercynian or not, grey or white rock strata, 300 million
years of erosion have sculpted the rock into hallucinating shapes here !The
small peaceful village of Prads is located at the very end of this cul
de sac, with the cliff as a back drop, on the edge of a meadow filled
with apple trees, it nestles at the foot of a mountain cirque.
Take the paved stairs to admire some beautiful stonework houses and hay
barns , a fountain or even the robust baptismal font, which is all that
remains of the Viere church (13th century).
In the peaceful little streets, no doubt you will come across one or two
familiar dogs, while enjoying the fragrance of a wood fire. Moreover,
if the stacks of wood beside each door are any indication, winters are
harsh in Prads Haute Bléone !
