Rageade is close to the Haute-Loire department and borders the Margeride massif and its forests. Between the tranquillity of its bucolic landscapes and the history of its ancient stones, you can explore the commune, and why not sample some of its specialities!
Why not look up from your hiking trail and admire the village’s distinctive houses full of character? You could take a break and enter the church of Saint Pierre-ès-Liens. The church has a fine collection of stained-glass windows and an open bell tower that is typical of Cantalien buildings. If you’re wondering about the material used to construct the building, it’s volcanic tuff!

In front of the church, a badly damaged iron cross, probably dating from the late 18th century, features a cockerel and beautiful fleurs-de-lis. In the middle of the cemetery, another monolithic stone cross, with a square cross-section, stands on a cube-shaped base. It features two small, roughly carved figures that can be seen on the front and back. Maybe you can decipher them?
