Mural of the King of the Bird, Le Puy-en-Velay

Highlight • Monument

It evokes the population, in period costume and accessories animates the streets, feasts, dances, and participates in the famous contest of the King of the bird (the winner was proclaimed king of the bird for a year and obtained many privileges including that of being exempt from taxes) Art of lace, cradle of verbena and production of AOC green lentils, contribute to the reputation of the city. The fresco also evokes some other lesser-known specialties such as tinsmithing, wooden and leather clogs, ham, falconry ....

Old bridge of Brives (ruins)

Highlight • Historical Site

This stone bridge, once an important crossing, is now partly collapsed, but its still visible arches offer a fascinating spectacle. Walking around the ruins, one can admire the tranquil beauty of the river flowing below, surrounded by lush vegetation.
