Le Puy-en-Velay

Le Puy-en-Velay is one of France’s most stunning sights. The well preserved old town has survived the ravages of time and is well worth a visit. Notre-Dame cathedral is its centre piece and a 35-hectare conservation area on the World Heritage List. It is an artistic and cultural centre with an amazing, thousand year old Romanesque chapel crowning the 80-metre high Aiguilhe Rock which overlooks the town. Lace making is an important local industry.
