Beautiful medieval town along the Senouire, lovely stream

Easy and great

Lavaudieu is a charming village located in Auvergne, in the Haute-Loire department. Classified among the “Most Beautiful Villages of France”, it is particularly known for its Benedictine abbey founded in the 11th century by Robert de Turlande

Imposing building currently being restored by a team of enthusiasts. I think it can be visited (paying, to finance the restoration I imagine).

The castle can only be visited on specific dates.

The abbey of La Chaise-Dieu is a former Benedictine abbey. It is a jewel of southern Gothic. Located in the village of La Chaise-Dieu, it was built during the 11th century. The complex is made up of several buildings gathered around a cloister. Complete visits are organized. Information can be found here: https://www.abbaye-chaise-dieu.com/visites/
