Beautiful medieval town along the Senouire, lovely stream

Lovely area to cycle along

The birthplace of General Lafayette (who played a crucial role in the American War of Independence) is here in a tiny Auvergne village.

This part offers a beautiful view of the village of Saint-Pal-de-Senouire. We can see the Saint-Paul church which sits at the top of the rocky promontory on which the village was built.

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/

Lavaudieu, literally "the valley of God", is a pretty village on the Senouire. It is built around a Benedictine abbey from the Middle Ages and is labeled "The most beautiful villages in France".

If in Auvergne there are several personalities who have marked history, the Marquis de Lafayette is one of the most important. Both a great craftsman in the American Revolutionary War and a leading figure during the French Revolution, he was born and spent his childhood here. If history buffs choose to visit the castle, the more athletic can take advantage of the nature around the castle to run in the footsteps of the childhood of the “hero of two worlds”.
