Le Puy-en-Velay Historic Center

Highlight • Historical Site

Le Puy-en-Velay is quite an incredible city. Granite and lava stones are everywhere. Several religious buildings, such as the huge statue of Notre-Dame de France and the church of Saint Michel-d'Aiguilhe are placed almost 100 meters high on old volcanic chimneys. These buildings serve as landmarks and can be reached by taking stairs in the rock. The city has two specialties: the famous green lentils from Puy and lace. Lacemakers still practice this unique art. You will find them especially near the steps leading to Notre Dame Cathedral. Do not miss this visit. The church and its cloister are austere but the Romanesque architecture is magnified here.
There is a beautiful atmosphere in the lively streets of Le Puy. Puy also means volcano.

Chibotte of Vals-près-le-Puy

Highlight • Structure

In the 19th century, chibottes or tsabones were temporary or seasonal dwellings in fields and vineyards. Thus the inhabitants of Puy-en-Velay who owned a vineyard in Vals-près-le-Puy, generally had a chibotte there which they occupied on Sundays and during the summer, according to a pattern encountered in many regions of the South.
