A major religious building in Puy-en-Velay, Notre-Dame Cathedral offers at 7 a.m., every day from April 1 to October 31 and at 7:30 a.m., Monday to Friday, from November 1 to March 31, the blessing of pilgrims. Whether you are walking towards Compostela or not, this stop is a must in the city.

The town of Le Puy-en-Velay with its cathedral and the "Black Madonna" worshiped there for many centuries is one of the major starting points in France for the Way of St. James. This leads the pilgrim from here over the southern foothills of the Massif Central to the Pyrenees , from there (Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port) then across to Spain and on to Santiago de Compostela, the tomb of the Apostle James the Greater.

For 9 euros (as of May 2023) you get an entrance ticket and an audio guide, which I can highly recommend. You get a mobile phone and headphones and depending on where you are, you get the appropriate explanations. Numerous languages are available. But these are not only sober explanations, but also living audio texts, so that you believe that the builder of this church is really talking to you when you climb the 268 steps. Also suitable medieval music. This makes visiting this extraordinary church a holistic experience.

Unique experience, you can climb the Madonna.

This volcanic organ has the particularity of being right in the center of the village. Queyrières, is actually beat around this volcanic curiosity.

It is therefore not necessary to take the plane to observe these incredible basalt columns so regular that they are reminiscent of an organ or steps built by man. It is a natural phenomenon.
