Le Puy en Velay - Saint Michel d'Aiguilhe
Since the early (even pre-Christian) times Le Puy has been a center of pilgrimage. From the 11th century on, this was one of the points from where pilgrims started their way to Santiago de Compostella. I had walked through Le Puy, when I had started in Geneva in 2008 - and I remember my feelings, when I saw the peaks the first time - in pouring rain.
Saint Michel d'Aiguilhe was built in 969 on a volcanic plug (85 metres high). It is reached by 268 steps carved into the rock. Already the Romans had a temple here.
