ラントリアックのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Each of these crosses, which the hiker often encounters in the fields or, as here, at the top of the mountain, is a symbol of remembrance of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. "With us on earth there is His memory, but in the Kingdom of Heaven is His presence: This presence is the joy of those who have already attained salvation. The memory is our consolation, as we are still wanderers, journeying toward our homeland." (Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, c. 1090–1153)

Viewpoint with less view than from the parking lot.

The Beaume waterfall is a unique place! This 27 meter high waterfall is the result of erosion: the waters of the Ourzie river cut into the basalt of the plateau and spring from the top of the cliff to then give rise to the Beaume, a tributary of the Loire.

Coubon is a small Loire village full of character located in Velay. Behind the bustling city center rich in shops and services, the Saint-Georges church has a magnificent facade of Romanesque architecture.

the abbey church remains one of the most beautiful examples of Romanesque art in Auvergne with its polychrome facade and its unique summit frieze. Its organ from 1518, commissioned by Gaspard de Tournon and restored in 1985 by the Giroud organ building workshop (Bernin, Isère), is one of the oldest in Europe. (Wikipedia en)

The special feature of this church is often found in this region: there is no church tower but a bell wall. The stone blocks of this bell wall have beautiful, natural color nuances. When I tried to enter the church I had a surprise: it was open! However, I quickly realized why this is so: the interior is very simple and plain. But that's exactly what I liked. There are benches, tables and toilets right next to the church and the parking lot.

The Saint-Georges church was bequeathed to the Monastier-sur-Gazeille abbey in 1090. However, only the central part of the facade remains of the Romanesque building. From 1740 its surface area was considered insufficient but it was not until the beginning of the 19C. so that work can be undertaken to compensate for the cramped conditions of the place. Thus in 1833, the date engraved in the Saint-Ferréol chapel, the entire monument was transformed, except for the central part between the two buttresses. The comb bell tower was then built between 1838 and 1844, its architect would have been inspired by the gable of the Puy-en-Velay cathedral. It replaced the one built in 1810 which itself succeeded the one destroyed during the Revolution. In 1875 a miter window on the façade was opened and the vaults of the church were built.

A crossroads marks this beautiful viewpoint. The height is 970 m. There is a bench and when the sun shines, the wide base of the wall at the crossroads heats up. You can relax wonderfully there.
