Sublime view over the valley

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.

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

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.

Commune with such a particular relief with the Rocher Corneille and the Rocher d'Aiguilhe.

Superb view of the Auvergne mountains on the Velay greenway. With a small bench to take a break!

Le Puy-en-Velay is quite an incredible city. Granite and lava stones are everywhere. Several religious buildings, such as the huge statue of Notre-Dame de France and the church of Saint Michel-d'Aiguilhe are placed almost 100 meters high on old volcanic chimneys. These buildings serve as landmarks and can be reached by taking stairs in the rock. The city has two specialties: the famous green lentils from Puy and lace. Lacemakers still practice this unique art. You will find them especially near the steps leading to Notre Dame Cathedral. Do not miss this visit. The church and its cloister are austere but the Romanesque architecture is magnified here. There is a beautiful atmosphere in the lively streets of Le Puy. Puy also means volcano.

Puy is on the Way of St. James, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the medieval town with its many churches and sacred buildings is nestled against steep basalt domes. Almost all ways up to the cathedral lead over steep stairs. Our Hotel B&B de la Prevote is at the very, very top right next to the Cathedral. Although a great location and a nicely furnished hotel floor in an ancient, thick sacral walls, but hardly to reach by bike. Finally we find a way, which is super steep, narrow and paved with river pebbles. Without an e-bike you would definitely have to push hard. Strolling through the medieval, narrow, steep streets in the evening is also fun because there are many delicious restaurants.
