In one of the best-preserved parts of the Margeride massif, the Three Sisters pass is said to have been named after the story of three sisters born in the parish of La Panouse, all three of whom were hired as servants in the local barracks. According to the dictionary of the rural world, these barracks refer to old inns located at the start of steep roads. This allowed the wagoners to reinforce their teams before setting off.

He not only constructed the Eiffel Tower, Gustav Eiffel

Nice village for a good lunch

Look out for a sign for the bar/restaurant belonging to the camping - in Spring 2025 it is the only open gastronomy we encountered in this beautiful town

Bridge was planned and built by the builder of the Eiffel Tower...

The linguistic proximity of the "Pont Eiffel", which spans the river here in the French town of Monistrol-d'Allier, and the low mountain range "Eifel" in the far west of Germany is no coincidence: The family of the designer - whose world-famous Tower of Paris (named after its builder) is probably known to everyone - has German roots. The ancestors of the Eiffel Tower builder Gustave EIFFEL come from the Eifel town of Marmagen (in the Euskirchen district, North Rhine-Westphalia). The village square there - if you are interested, see the following hiking highlight https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/1830307 - is named after him.

Chapeauroux is a small town of a few houses which has the triple advantage of having an SNCF station, a municipal campsite and a beach on the banks of the Allier. The town on the other side of the bridge bears the charming name of New World. You are here on the border between the departments of Haute-Loire and Lozère.
