Saint-Julien-Chapteuil – Saint-Jeures

From Saint-Julien-Chapteuil, the Jerusalem Way leads through the heights of Velay via Raffy and Monedeyres. Volcanic peaks, meadows, forests, and wide views characterize this peaceful stage. In Araules, the church recalls the region’s long religious tradition. Afterward, the route reaches Saint-Jeures, nestled in an open mid-mountain landscape. The day is marked by nature, small villages, and growing silence.
