In 1978, a few friends founded an association to safeguard and enhance the Château de Luc. Its purpose is to preserve and restore these vestiges, but also to deepen their history and make it known to the public. The work carried out jointly, association and successive municipal teams allowed the restoration of the keep in 1994 with the installation of orientation tables, then that of the main building in 2008 thus allowing the organization of animations at the Castle. THE MUNICIPALITY OF LUC AND THE ASSOCIATION OF FRIENDS OF THE CHÂTEAU DE LUC INVITE VISITORS TO RESPECT THESE PLACES THAT WILL SEE OUR HISTORY.

Around 1380, during the Hundred Years War, a large troop of Englishmen and road warriors tried to seize it, but in vain. During the Wars of Religion, a garrison on foot and on horseback was installed in this fortress to defend the region. Luc's castle seems to have been dismantled around 1630, on the order of Richelieu. In 1878, a statue of Notre Dame de Luc was erected on the keep. A few months later, Robert Louis Stevenson, on his trip to the Cévennes, passed in front of the castle and stopped at Luc. The Revolution, the abolition of feudal rights, the harsh climate, the challenge of time had greatly degraded it.

LUC, from the Latin LUCUS "Sacred Wood", is one of the oldest inhabited sites in Gévaudan. In Celtic times, the promontory on which this castle stands today was a place of worship dedicated to the God Mercury who gave his name to the forest of Mercoire. From the 12th century, a fortified castle replaced the dwellings. It becomes one of the most important in the region. The first owners bear the title of Prince of Luc, Count of Luc. Enlarged over the alliances, it has kept despite its state the imposing signs of a military fortress. Guardian of the Chemin de Regordane, the pilgrimage route of Saint Gilles, a nerve center between the provinces of Gévaudan and Vivarais, it came under the bishop of Le Puy. But over the centuries, the preponderance of the Bishop of Mende was recognized and the castle passed under his suzerainty. Seat of a co-lordship with the lords Bourbal des Choisinets, Agrain des Hubacs, it successively belonged to the most illustrious families of the region.

Located on the “chemin de Saint-Gilles”, Pradelles had a “Road Hospital”. This hospital is located below the city, because, if charity ordered passing pilgrims to be accommodated, prudence with regard to brigands and epidemics advised to do so "outside the walls". The statue of Notre-Dame, of which Robert-Louis Stevenson wrote, in 1878, "that it worked many miracles although it was made of wood", was discovered in 1512 near this hospital in a wooden chest buried at a unknown period. She was placed in the chapel adjoining the hospital. The current Notre-Dame chapel was built by the Dominicans, the first stone was laid on May 8, 1613. The bell tower was raised in 1655. The chapel was restored and redecorated from 1867 to 1876, the bell tower was remodeled in 1879, to accommodate the Bourdon (large bell with a deep sound). The stone dome topped with the statue of the Virgin was completed in 1889.

The Besset portal is the southern gate of the city of Pradelles, the rue Basse which descends from it joins the Entressac to reform the "Chemin de Saint-Gilles" which takes on the name of "Chemin de Régordane" a little further south. We can clearly see the structure of the gate, with a first arch, behind which the heavy iron portcullis slid (in the slides dug into the stone), and a second arch against which the heavy wooden gate pivoting on iron hinges was closed. (part of which is still sealed in the wall) and locked by wooden bars anchored in notches cut in the stone.

The current church of Pradelles was built to replace an old church, in Romanesque style, which had become too small for a population which reached 2000 souls at the end of the 19th century. The plans were drawn by Mr. Tracol, architect, and adopted on August 16, 1897; the demolition of the old church began in March 1900, and the first stone of the new building was laid on June 26, 1900. The new church was inaugurated on November 12, 1902. In the washerwomen's lane, south of the church, two old Gothic style doors are classified as historic monuments. From the square located behind the church, in front of the Presbytery, the view extends from the ridges of Margeride, to the west, to the summits of Mont Lozère. The old brothers' school, to the west of the square, now houses the "Living Draft Horse Museum".
