サンジュリアンシャプテュイルのおすすめツーリングルート

Easy and very beautiful

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.

This lake located at an altitude of over 1200 m has magnificent colours

This very striking rock needle near Le Puy-en-Velay, crowned with a chapel, is dedicated to the Archangel Michael / Michel. After a strenuous day of pilgrimage, it takes a little effort to make the climb here, but without exception all of our small group of pilgrims conquered the steps and were delighted by this simply designed Romanesque chapel, which offers a wonderful atmosphere of peace and prayer. On the patronage: The name Michael / Michel (from Hebrew) means "Who is like God?". He is often depicted - in paintings or as a statue - with a flaming sword, or occasionally a lance. Michael is - together with Raphael, Gabriel and Uriel - one of the four archangels who (according to human belief) occupy the highest rank in the heavenly hierarchy of angelic beings. Their common feast day in the calendar of saints is September 29th.

Culminating at more than 1,250 meters, Lake Saint-Front is the highest lake in Haute-Loire. This natural lake of volcanic origin is seven meters deep and underneath is 47 meters of mud accumulated over geological time.

Magnificent, quite winding descent

City of cars, everywhere even in the old town. Pedestrians can always wait to cross and bikes only get paint on the road... sometimes.

Perfect for stopping in shelter
