Beautiful view

Simple and clean accommodation with sensational cuisine. We stayed there on our long-distance hike from Tarifa (Spain) to Switzerland and can highly recommend the accommodation.

This village which is in the heart of the Cévennes national park is the ideal place to take a break. The fountain offers you good spring water, come and drink from it before walking along the main street of the village. The landscapes surrounding the town well represent the wild beauty of this Cévennes country.

Such cenotaphs or war memorials are still very important today as a memorial to the many dead. "Now you, O Lord, let your servant depart in peace, as you said..." says the so-called "Song of Simeon" (Gospel of Luke chapter 2, verse 29). However, the people who are remembered here did not die in peace, but rather became victims of war and tyranny. This is why the term “Fallen Monument” is now sometimes used in German-speaking countries instead of the previously most common “war memorial”. In the French-speaking world, this aspect of commemorating the dead has long been included through the commonly used term "MONUMENT AUX MORTS".

Protestantism has always played a major role in the Cevennes, so even in most small villages there is a church for both denominations

Although the hamlet of Pompidou is very small, it has 2 churches

Monument to the fallen soldiers from the 1st World War
