A breathtaking view from this impressive bridge. The built foothills of the Allier Valley are splendid.

Easy and great

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

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).

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.

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”.
