Le-Puy-en-Velay
【City description】
This city is famous for the start point of the pilgrimage and registered in the UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are two rocks in the city and a statue of Maria and a chapel on each rock. Although we find some narrow roads on the way to the rocks, we can also discover the medieval view. But it is so fatigue that it is better to prepare the hiking shoes for the visit. In addition, the lace knitting and the lentil are the special product in the city.
