Discover Le Puy-en-Velay and Haute-Loire: a jewel of authenticity in the heart of Auvergne

Nestled in the heart of a volcanic green setting, the town of Le Puy-en-Velay invites you on a true journey through time. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site , this characterful town is the emblematic starting point of the Way of Saint James . Between its cobbled streets, Renaissance buildings and hilltop monuments (such as the unmissable statue of Notre-Dame de France or the Saint-Michel d'Aiguilhe chapel), Le Puy blends history, spirituality and the art of living.

But beyond the city, there is a whole territory that opens up to you.

Haute-Loire promises a relaxing, natural stay. Hiking along volcanic peaks, swimming in the Allier Gorges or the wild Loire, charming villages like Lavaudieu or Arlempdes, local markets, Auvergne specialties... Here, you can breathe, explore, and savor.

Ideal for lovers of heritage, walks, gastronomy or simply peace and quiet, the region is also a perfect playground for families, couples and adventurers in search of authenticity.

And true luxury? Everything is on a human scale, accessible, and crowd-free. A return to basics, just two hours from Lyon or an hour and a half from Clermont-Ferrand.
