Saint-Privat-d’Allier – Le Puy-en-Velay

From Saint-Privat-d’Allier, the JerusalemWay leads through the volcanic landscape of Velay to Le Puy-en-Velay. Basalt peaks, valleys, and wide views accompany the route. With the Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Chapel of Saint-Michel d’Aiguilhe, and its long pilgrimage tradition, Le Puy is one of the most significant spiritual sites in France. For many people, the classic route to Santiago begins here—JerusalemWay pilgrims continue their journey eastward from this major pilgrimage center.
