Lac de Malaguet is an artificial lake created and exploited by man since the Middle Ages. Today it is a Regional Nature Reserve.

As the sign clearly indicates, you are at a place called Le Cros, on a very small part of the Chemin de Saint-Jacques. You can take this path to reach Le Puy-en-Velay located further south. From this town begins the via Podiensis. The Puy route is with the Arles route, the Tours route and the Vézelay route, one of the four paths leading to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port. From there begins the French way which crosses the Pyrenees to reach Santiago de Compostela.

This town, like so many others in the department of La Haute-Loire, is located at the foot of a volcano. The department has more than 500. This once very prosperous village is dominated by "La Potence". This name is given to the particular ruins of its medieval castle, which dominates the village.

The village of La Chaise-Dieu is nestled on a granite promontory, more than 1000 meters above sea level. Saint-Robert Abbey and its Sacred Music Festival are worth the detour.

A must see with a beautiful view when arriving in the village.

A brilliant idea: a beach with bathing prohibited!
