Suc de Chapteuil

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Suc de Chapteuil is an enormous organ rock which represents an ancient volcanic chimney. The 360 degree view is sublime. We'll be amazed!

The church of Saint-Julien-Chapteuil is very imposing and bears some resemblance to the cathedral of Le-Puy-en-Velay. The church is located on a hill that can be reached from two sides via step paths. The facade stands as a separate stylistic element in front of the church and even towers over it.
The Saint-Julien church was built in the 12th century.
