Nades: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes
Nades is home to the Église Saint-Jacques, a Romanesque church with a single-nave layout consisting of four bays of unequal size, a three-sided apse and two semicircular chapels forming a transept. The octagonal bell tower rises above the crossing of the transept.
The desire to rent a holiday apartment in Nades places the town itself at the centre of accommodation planning.
Culture
The Église Saint-Jacques is partially listed as a historic monument. The west façade and the first bay of the nave are excluded; the listing was made by decree on 5 May 1975. Another historic site is the Château de Nades: it was built in 1855 by the Duke de Morny and destroyed by fire on 7 October 1877.
Forests and Landscape
The Forêt communale de Nades lies on the edge of the Combrailles, a hilly granite massif between the Allier and Puy de Dôme. The communal forest consists of oak and beech coppice as well as planted conifer stands. It is also included in a Zone Naturelle d'Intérêt Ecologique Faunistique et Floristique in the Massif des Colettes.
The paths of the Forêt communale de Nades are considered particularly attractive because of the varied landscape, with coniferous and deciduous woodland.
Hiking
Les bois de Nades is a moderately difficult, 7.5-kilometre circular hike. The route passes the town hall and goes around a pond before ascending. Les bois de Nades then runs through hilly woodland between Nades and La Bosse, beneath Douglas firs and beech trees.
Surroundings
In the immediate vicinity of Nades is Chouvigny Castle, a site of interest listed as a historic site.
The wider region around Nades is home to the Abbaye Notre-Dame de Bellaigue, an abbey, and the Château de Chazeron, a castle. Also located there are Roche de Sauterre, a hill, Suc de Beaunit, a hill, and Puy de Verrières, a hill.
