ルモンテイユのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

A very pleasant little visit, with a view of Le Puy-en-Velay and its surroundings. The castle is open almost every day; the ticket office is located near the church at the bottom of the castle. To enter the castle, you must insert a token, which is given at the ticket office.

Good elevation gain, but avoid the circuit in wet weather due to the muddy paths

This stone bridge, once an important crossing, is now partly collapsed, but its still visible arches offer a fascinating spectacle. Walking around the ruins, one can admire the tranquil beauty of the river flowing below, surrounded by lush vegetation.

Magnificent, to pass on foot

Not cobblestones but stones, we put our foot down

Great restaurant at Chateau de Polignac. Exceptionally good cuisine for a tourist restaurant.

Church of Sainte-Anne and Saint-Martin de Polignac Very beautiful church made of brown stones the color of lava

Interesting to see that there is a "mountain of joy" not only in Spanish Galicia, but also here in southeastern France. These two places not only have the name in common, but also the first view of the towers of the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela with the tomb of the Holy Apostle James the Elder, or of the cathedral with the black Madonna of Le-Puy. en-Velay. The small pile of stones that have accumulated at this point, however, is reminiscent of the Spanish "Cruz de Ferro" (iron cross) on Monte Irago.
