Le Puy-en-Velay attractions

Le Puy-en-Velay Cathedral sits supreme on the basalt rock of the town of Le Puy. As you climb the hills toward the cathedral you'll understand why countless pilgrims since the 4th century have come to worship the Virgin Mary in this very spot. The church itself was constructed mainly in the 12th century, but a number of works have been completed in the centuries since. Once inside you'll be able to appreciate Romanesque décor, and the beauty of the building's architecture.
