Located in the south-east of the Massif Central, the starting point of the "Via Podiensis" to Santiago de Compostela, Puy en Velay is above all an exceptional site. Preserved from the ravages of time, the city has many surprises in store for visitors.
The city of Le Puy en Velay is embedded in a green setting where water and fire have sculpted astonishing natural scenery and where man has made the beauty of art triumph. The Upper Town of Le Puy-en-Velay contains in its protected area many historical and architectural treasures: in addition to the imposing cathedral built on the side of Mont Anis and classified by UNESCO, its cloister is worth a visit. It is one of the finest and best preserved Romanesque cloisters in Europe and dates from the XNUMXth and XNUMXth centuries. European capital of Santiago de Compostela, the city offers pilgrims with Le Camino, a place of welcome and information as well as a museum-route on this theme.
