Sublime view over the valley

What a relief at 30?°C

Intriguing place

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.

Medieval atmosphere in the tunnels

A beautiful view of the Loire Valley from the Velay greenway.

The Velay greenway follows the old railway line from Puy-en-Velay to Langogne. Leaving the town, the route runs along the Loire and offers beautiful views of the river.

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