Notre-Dame de France is a monumental pink statue located just a short walk from the city center. Built in 1860 using metal from 213 cannons seized during the Crimean War, it offers visitors the unique experience of climbing a spiral staircase inside and peering out from the top. Perched on the volcanic rock formation known as Corneille, this representation of the Virgin Mary provides breathtaking panoramic views of Le Puy and Saint-Michel d'Aiguilhe.
I was absolutely stunned by Notre-Dame de France in Le Puy. The statue is massive and looks incredible up close. The climb is totally worth it because the views from the top are just insane. I think this is one of the best places in France, highly recommend visiting!
Anirudha S — Google review
The trek up to the statue is moderately strenuous, with minor rests it took about 5-10 mins from the ticket booth. The view of the surrounding countryside from the observation deck is incredible; especially the view of Rocher Saint-Michel d'Aiguilhe (St. Michel Chappel).

Not an easy climb up but not too hard if you are in a decent shape. The view from the top is great. Going into the statue is just a fun, but you don't really see much more, so if you skip you won't loose much.

A must do, incredible views of the city from the top, you can even go all the way up into the crown of the statue.

Cathédrale Notre-Dame-du-Puy is a Romanesque masterpiece located in the town of Puy-en-Velay, attracting pilgrims and tourists with its unique striped facade made of volcanic rock and sandstone. This UNESCO World Heritage site was built between the 10th and 12th centuries and features a blend of Romanesque and early Gothic architecture. The cathedral houses a revered statue of the Black Virgin, which is paraded through the streets annually on August 15th.
A place of pilgramage. All roads lead to the cathedral. Over 144 cobble stone steps to the top. Not for the faint of heart. Opens up to the altar of the cathedral. Statues of Joan of Arc and Louie XIV. The black virgin Mary. The original was burned during the french revolution.

On top of the hill behind Le Puy, it’s a bit of a climb, but well worth it Quite plain inside by Euro standards but has a “vibe” that makes you think it’s something special The views back towards the town and great
TerryA — Google review
Always a must see when i go to Le Puy, beautiful church with many secrets and little ally ways. There are some closed doors that if you give a little push will open right up and you will find yourself all by yourself in a new section of the church. There are great views of the city and other landmarks in the city. Do be ready to walk up many steps as this church is at the top of the hill.
Gaspard A — Google review
This is a magnificent historical Romanesque cathedral. It's location on a high point in the heart of the old town offers amazing views of the city. We were lucky as during our visit there was a Pilgrim's mass on. This Cathedral is definitely a must visit.

Rocher Saint-Michel d'Aiguilhe is a remarkable 82-meter high rock formation dedicated to Archangel Michael, with a history dating back over 2 million years. The site features a stunning chapel built over 1000 years ago, accessible by climbing 268 steps that wind around the rock. Visitors can take breaks on benches along the way.
A must in le Puy. Atmosphere in this church is so intense. You also have to see the night light show. Go there after 11 Pm to have the best colors.

A steep staircase takes you up to a small chapel. A couple of interesting introductory videos do a good job of explaining what you're about to see.

WoW! Is enough to explain. The small church dedicated to Michael the Archangel on the top, and the incredible steep ascent of this 2 million years ancient Vulcano, the view from down and from the top. The Portal, the remains of the frescos.. All amazing!
Paolo E — Google review
Unique church on top of a rock, in the middle of Puy-en-Velay. The church on top is dedicated to archangel Michael, and there is a little chapel dedicated to the archangel Gabriel. The church dates back to the 10th century, and has some very beautiful frescoes on the inside. The museum at the bottom of the climb explains a lot about which figure depicts who, and explains the history of the church. Entry costs €6 per person, but we thought this is definitely worth it. I don't think the climb is accessible when you have a disability. Otherwise, the climb is doable.
Thirza S — Google review
Unbelievable achievement to build a chapel on top of a very high rock. Go in the early evening and observe a service before the long walk down. Also visit the Mary and Jesus statue on an even higher rock and experience the son et Lumiere show in the evenings. Brilliant place to visit. The town is called Puy en Velay.
Jeremy C — Google review
Unique rock formation with St Michel D'Aiguilhe on its top. The view from up there is stunning! There is an entry fee of 5€ for climbing up there along with a short museum.

Le Puy-en-Velay, a charming town in southern France, is famous for its green lentils and as the starting point of the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage trail. The 12th-century Romanesque Notre Dame Cathedral with its stunning frescoes and cloister is a must-see. Perched on a volcanic rock, the St-Michel d’Aiguilhe chapel from the 10th century offers breathtaking views.

Cultural landmark
Situated in the picturesque city of Le Puy-en-Velay, France, Musée Crozatier is a renowned museum that offers a diverse collection of art, history, and natural sciences. Named after Charles Crozatier, a prominent sculptor from the region, this 19th-century establishment showcases archaeological finds, medieval artifacts, sculptures, paintings, and decorative arts.
It is the best museum I have seen and visited in all my life. I advise all to visit it .
Mohammad S — Google review
It had a much better selection than I anticipated. Artifacts from Egypt, Rome, and Greece. Kids would probably like the taxidermied animals on the top floor. It was also interesting to find out that the town was the "place for lace."
Mark — Google review
I enjoyed several hours wondering through the different levels of the museum learning about the local history and enjoying artwork depicting areas that I had been to in the region as well as their temporary exhibition on Japan which while not extensive was enjoyable. I recommend getting the three or five museum pass to get the best value for a one or two day stay in Le Puy.
Barb S — Google review
Part of the Puy-en-Velay 5 attraction pass. Quite interesting. Nice and cool on a hot day. I might not recommend so much for full price. At the moment there is some good art, rather than one of the usual exhibitions

####I've visited a few other fine art museums and enjoyed always my experience, here was smaller but I actually spent longer as they provided comfy seating almost throughout; To sit relaxed and admire a painting is what fine art should be about. The exhibition of self portraits and the quality of the down lighting was superb. Explanation in french and in English taught me things I didn't know and I came away, a more learned person. Thank you.

Hôtel-Dieu Saint-Jacques, a former 17th-century hospital for pilgrims on the Way of St. James, is now a historical site in Le Puy-en-Velay. Visitors can explore the well-preserved building and gain insight into the intricate healthcare system of the past. The museum attached to the cathedral offers immersive shows with sound and light, including exhibits on Leonardo da Vinci.
(Translated by Google) Poor signage for accessing the museum on Sundays, several interactive media (sound and/or videos) don't work in the self-guided tour section of the museum, and it's impossible to see the four immersive films without necessarily seeing one of them twice... Despite everything, the welcome is excellent, the venue is very clean. And the immersive shows are truly amazing. The prices are reasonable. Despite the minor issues, I recommend this experience. (Original) Mauvaise signalétique pour accéder au musée le dimanche, plusieurs médias interactifs (son et/ou videos) ne fonctionnent pas au sein de la partie visite libre du musée, impossible voir voir les 4 films immersifs sans en voir un obligatoirement deux fois... Malgré tout, l'accueil est top, le lieu est très propre. Et les spectacles immersifs sont vraiment géniaux. Tarifs corrects. Malgré les petits problèmes, je conseille cette expérience.

(Translated by Google) Currently, there are 5 different activities; when you buy a ticket, you're entitled to 3. A duo (Leonardo da Vinci and To the Earth's Core, for example) + the chapel. For the two missing activities, you'll have to return to reception and get new tickets. It costs €9.50 per adult and €6.00 per child. It lasts 50 minutes. Afterwards, a self-guided tour is possible. The welcome was very pleasant; it was perfect. (Original) Actuellement 5 animations différentes, lorsque vous prenez une entrée vous avez le droit à 3 animations. Un duo (Léonard de vinci et jusqu'au coeur de la terre par exemple) + la chapelle. Pour les deux animations manquantes, il faudra repasser par l'accueil et reprendre des places. Compter 9,50 euros par adulte et 6,00 euros par enfant. Durée 50 minutes. Ensuite une visite libre est possible. Pour l'accueil, très agréable, c'était parfait.

(Translated by Google) A nice little family visit to the sound and light show. The entrance fee is reasonable (around €10/person). Allow around 1 hour to 1.5 hours, depending on how long you spend in the small museum section. The only thing missing is deckchairs in the second room. (Original) petite visite en famille du spectacle son et lumieres, sympatique, le prix de l entree est correct(environ 10e/personnes),compter environ 1h/1h30, selon le temps que vous passez sur la petite partie musée, il manque juste des transats pour la 2 em salle

(Translated by Google) Located next to the cathedral, the Hôtel Dieu du Puy has been renovated into a museum. We had booked the “Hotel of Lights” experience, an interesting digital immersion on the themes of freedom and Leonardo da Vinci. The illuminations in the chapel are also very pretty. In addition to this digital part, we have access to the museum inside. There you can find information on nearby cathedrals, on the theme of water, on the paths of Stevenson and St Jacques... and the discovery of the pharmacy is very interesting. (Original) Situé à côté de la cathédrale, l'hôtel dieu du Puy a été rénové en musée. Nous avions réservé l'expérience "l'hôtel des lumières", une immersion numérique intéressante sur les thèmes de la liberté et de Léonard de Vinci. Les illuminations de la chapelle sont également très jolies. En + de cette partie numérique, on a accès au musée à l'intérieur. On y trouve des infos sur les cathédrales à proximité, sur le thème de l'eau, sur les chemins de Stevenson et St Jacques... et la découverte de la pharmacie est très intéressante.

(Translated by Google) I came to visit the Hôtel Dieu for its architecture and its museum value, but it's impossible to visit without indulging in the COMPOSTELLA show, billed as "unique immersive scenographies in a magical place." They are undoubtedly unique, but only in the ridiculousness of their execution, since the technique used is completely commonplace in 2025 (see the Festival of Lights in Lyon, for example). The first act, on freedom, with jumbled images and a mismatched soundtrack: I had never imagined that gypsy jazz (which I otherwise like) could illustrate the Declaration of the Rights of Man... The second act, a tearing apart of Impressionist paintings and their recomposition. It's of no interest. Finally, a projection of geometric drawings that failed to fit the geometry of the room's vaults. The few spectators were checking their smartphones, wondering, and waiting (standing) for it to pass, while wondering if it was worth enduring more than an hour of this thing before visiting the museum. (Original) J'étais venu visiter l'Hôtel Dieu, pour son architecture et sa valeur muséale, mais il n'est pas possible de faire la visite sans s'infliger le spectacle COMPOSTELLA, annoncé comme "scénographies immersives uniques dans un lieu magique". Elles sont sans doute uniques mais uniquement par le ridicule de la réalisation, puisque la technique utilisée est tout ce qu'il y a de plus commun en 2025 (voir la Fête des Lumières à Lyon par exemple). Premier acte, sur la liberté, avec des images pelle mêle et une bande son mal assortie : je n'avais jamais imaginé que le jazz manouche (que j'aime bien par ailleurs) puisse illustrer la Déclaration des droits de l'homme... Deuxième acte, une mise en morceaux des peintures impressionnistes et leur recomposition. Aucun intérêt. Pour finir, une projection de dessins géométriques qui n'arrivaient pas à coller à la géométrie des voutes de la salle. Les quelques spectateurs consultaient leur smartphones, s'étonnaient, et attendaient (debout) que ça passe, tout en se demandant si ça valait le coup de supporter plus d'une heure de cette chose avant de visiter le musée.

(Translated by Google) A somewhat cold welcome, with no admission fee or access to PBS. The first room and screening were long and standing, but then there was a nice improvement and a grand finale. (Original) Acceuil un peu froid, pas de tarif, ni d'accès pour les PBS. 1ere salle et projection, longue et debout, ensuite très belle amélioration et fin en apothéose.
Dominique M — Google review
(Translated by Google) I really enjoyed visiting the Hôtel-Dieu and its digital art center in Le-Puy-en-Velay. Following my visit in September 2025, I can give you a complete and concise presentation of the Hôtel-Dieu and its complex, with everything you need to know: The Hôtel-Dieu of Le Puy-en-Velay, located in the heart of the cathedral district, adjoins the majestic Notre-Dame Cathedral (2 rue Becdelièvre, 43000 Le Puy-en-Velay). This historic monument, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1998, rises on the hillside, accessible via the cathedral's grand staircase. 🔍 What you'll discover: Compostella Digital Art Center (formerly "Hôtel des Lumières"): three to five immersive 360° scenographies, combining projections and sound creation. For example: A "Liberty, I draw your name" scene in homage to Lafayette, A dive into the world of Leonardo da Vinci, The chapel in lights with animations under Gothic vaults, And the 3D mini-cathedrals in the "Salle des Cuves" Art & Heritage Space (CIAP): permanent and temporary exhibitions on history, medieval pharmacy, local heritage, educational workshops, and a contemporary work by Jean-Michel Othoniel, "The Heart of the Hôtel-Dieu." You can also admire one of the most beautiful medieval hospital pharmacies in France. ✨ Atmosphere & Decor: The venue combines medieval architectural beauty (Gothic vaults, courtyards, frescoes) with modern technologies (video mapping, immersive projections). The atmosphere oscillates between traditional and futuristic, bathed in rich, musical lighting. Visitors appreciate this encounter between the past and digital art for a unique visual and emotional experience. 👍 What I liked about my visit: The immersive and sensory aspect of the 360° digital experiences. The heritage expertise (altars, pharmacy, apothecary), and the enhancement through multimedia devices. A family-friendly venue, suitable for young people and history buffs alike. The architectural harmony: courtyards, porch, inner courtyard, and breathtaking views of Le Puy. ℹ️ Prices & Opening Hours: Full price: around €9, concessions (under 18/students) €8, youth (under 15) €6, free for under 6s (free ticket required). Opening Hours 2025: July–August: daily. September: Wednesday to Sunday. October–November: weekends and holidays. Payment methods: cash, credit card, holiday/culture vouchers, ANCV (French National Cultural Heritage Centre) 🛎️ Practical information & reservations: Booking recommended online (Compostella website or Tourist Office) or directly at reception. Permanent individual tours, with audio/guide in French and English upon request. Group tours (min. 20 people) & half-day packages including meals + guided tours + digital shows, from €48/person. ✅ In summary, I can say that the Hôtel-Dieu, adjacent to the cathedral of Le Puy-en-Velay, is a medieval monument renovated into a renowned digital art center. Compostella offers immersive shows (Leonardo da Vinci, frescoes, mini-cathedrals) in a remarkable historical setting, with heritage exhibitions and a medieval pharmacy. The atmosphere combines visual excitement, historical sensitivity, and technological modernity, appealing to young and old alike. Open in summer and fall, the tour can be planned online, at very affordable prices (€9 full price). A must-see during a visit to Le Puy! I recommend you visit the Hôtel-Dieu and its digital art center. I have attached some photos and videos. Please add a smiley face, a thumbs-up, a heart, etc., under the review and photos to encourage me in my efforts. It's always nice to receive kind feedback. Enjoy your visit. Best regards. Éric Tison F-57 Féy (Metz. Moselle. France).. (Original) J'ai bien aimé visiter l'Hôtel-Dieu et son centre d'art numérique à Le-Puy-en-Velay. Suite à ma visite en septembre 2025, je peux vous faire une présentation complète et synthétique de l'Hôtel-Dieu et de son ensemble avec tout ce que vous voulez savoir : L’Hôtel‑Dieu du Puy‑en‑Velay, situé en plein cœur du quartier cathédral, jouxte la majestueuse cathédrale Notre‑Dame (2 rue Becdelièvre, 43000 Le Puy‑en‑Velay). Ce monument historique, inscrit au patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO depuis 1998, s'élève à flanc de colline, accessible par le grand escalier de la cathédrale. 🔍 Ce que vous y découvrez : Centre d’art numérique Compostella (anciennement « Hôtel des Lumières ») : trois à cinq scénographies immersives à 360 °, mêlant projections et création sonore. Par exemple : Une scène « Liberté, je dessine ton nom » en hommage à Lafayette, Une plongée dans l’univers de Léonard de Vinci, La chapelle en lumières avec animations sous voûtes gothiques, Et les mini-cathédrales en 3D dans la « Salle des Cuves » Espace Art & Patrimoine (CIAP) : expositions permanentes et temporaires sur l’histoire, la pharmacie médiévale, patrimoine local, ateliers pédagogiques, et œuvre contemporaine de Jean‑Michel Othoniel, « Le cœur de l’Hôtel‑Dieu ». Vous pourrez aussi admirer l’une des plus belles pharmacies hospitalières médiévales de France. ✨ Ambiance & décoration : Le lieu marie beauté architecturale médiévale (voûtes gothiques, cours, fresques) et technologies modernes (mapping vidéo, projections immersives). L’atmosphère oscille entre traditionnelle et futuriste, baignée par une lumière scénographique riche et musicale. Les visiteurs apprécient cette rencontre du passé et de l’art numérique pour une expérience visuelle et émotionnelle inédite. 👍 Ce qui m'a plu lors de ma visite : Le côté immersif et sensoriel des expériences numériques 360°. Le savoir-faire patrimonial (autels, pharmacie, apothicairerie), et la mise en valeur via des dispositifs multimédias. Un lieu familial, adapté aux jeunes comme aux amateurs d’histoire. L’harmonie architecturale : cours, porche, cour intérieure et vue imprenable sur Le Puy. ℹ️ Tarifs & horaires : Plein tarif : environ 9 €, réduit (-18 ans/étudiants) 8 €, jeune (<15 ans) 6 €, gratuit pour <6 ans (billet gratuit obligatoire). Horaires d’ouverture 2025 : Juillet–août : tous les jours. Septembre : mercredi à dimanche. Octobre–novembre : week-ends et vacances. Moyens de paiement : espèces, CB, chèques vacances/culture, ANCV 🛎️ Informations pratiques & réservations : Réservation recommandée en ligne (site Compostella ou Office du Tourisme) ou directement à l’accueil. Visites individuelles permanentes, avec audio / guide en français et anglais sur demande. Visites de groupes (min. 20 pers.) & formules demi-journée incluant repas + visite guidée + spectacle numériques, à partir de 48 €/pers. ✅ En résumé, je peux dire que l’Hôtel‑Dieu, adossé à la cathédrale du Puy-en-Velay, est un monument médiéval rénové en un centre d’art numérique renommé. Compostella propose des spectacles immersifs (Léonard de Vinci, fresques, mini-cathédrales) dans un cadre historique remarquable, avec expositions patrimoniales et pharmacie médiévale. L’ambiance mêle émotion visuelle, sensibilité historique et modernité technologique, séduisant petits et grands. Ouvert l’été et en automne, la visite se prépare en ligne, à des tarifs très accessibles (9 € plein tarif). A découvrir absolument lors d’un passage au Puy ! Je vous recommande d'aller voir l'Hôtel-Dieu et son centre d'art numérique. Je joins en annexe quelques photos et vidéos. Svp mettre un smiley, un bravo ou un cœur ou autre etc...sous l'avis et les photos pour m'encourager dans ma démarche. Cela fait toujours plaisir d'avoir des retours sympathiques. Bonne visite.

Points of Interest & Landmarks
Le Camino, also known as the Chemin de Saint-Jacques, is a historical pilgrimage route that attracts travelers from all over the world. In Le Puy-en-Velay, visitors can explore a museum that delves into the rich history of this famous path. The museum showcases exhibitions focusing on various aspects of the Camino, including personal accounts from past pilgrims and spiritual lessons from monks and priests who have made the journey. Additionally, there are captivating watercolor paintings on display.
For the bar: Great drinks at amazing prices For the museum: 4€ entry. Good modern museum in beautiful old building. A bit too much focus on audio for my liking. If you want to take in all the information you wil spend a lot of time just listening to audio testimonials without a lot of things to look at. If you're not French speaking you receive a tablet which automatically shows you the right information depending on which room you're in and which works very well (it felt like I had a better experience thanks to the tablet compared to french speakers with just a paper map)

L’accueil pèlerins est assuré chaque soir par l’association locale, avec conseils et vente de crédencial. Le café‑jardin adjacent offre une pause gourmande dans un cadre paisible.

Pleasant gardens for relaxing in, with plenty of specimen trees and a picturesque pond. But we felt very unhappy about the small dirty enclosures that housed a random selection of unhappy looking animals.

It's really really small. There is a zoo part but the animals look like they want to end their lifes. There is just enough grass to allow for everyone to seat. The good point is that the museum is embedded in the park and there is a small cafeteria where they sell really good pancakes

The Cloître de la Cathédrale du Puy-en-Velay is a majestic religious structure perched on the volcanic overhang of Mont Anis. Accessible via a monumental staircase, this Romanesque architectural masterpiece has been well-preserved since the 5th century. Visitors are encouraged to explore this historically rich site, which also offers a tranquil and informative experience with explanations in French and an interesting video showcasing the cathedral's evolution over the centuries.

(Translated by Google) Pretty cloister, with traces of different eras. It’s a shame there aren’t a few flowers in the center of the cloister. And it's too hot in the treasure room, so we don't really want to stay to look at the works on display (there's little extra light, to preserve things, but sometimes it's really more than light.) (Original) Joli cloître, avec des traces de différentes époques. Dommage qu'il n y ait pas un peu de fleurs dans le centre du cloître.

Market
The Marché du Puy-en-Velay offers a wide range of affordable and delicious products, such as lentils, cheeses, charcuterie, organic bread, pate, fruits and vegetables. It is a lively market that showcases local produce. However, there is only one vendor selling sheep's cheese in the center who is unfriendly and charges high prices. Despite this drawback, the market remains a great place to explore and purchase fresh ingredients.

(Translated by Google) I love this party, I've always done it from start to finish. For those who write that there's no organization, I totally disagree, and what's more, the Roi de l'oiseau is a party when you do it a bit as you want!! And it's very well signposted everywhere. As for parking, okay, it's complicated, but it can be organized, the Roi de l'oiseau, so that means you find accommodation with parking or parking and you go on foot, it's logical that you don't go to the station in the middle of Le Puy, you just have to be logical!!!

(Translated by Google) Very disappointed by the organization of this party. I couldn't take advantage of it. I came to spend just one day there for the first time to get an idea. I didn't stay more than an hour because I was very unhappy with the organization: No signage upon my arrival at Le Puy. No signage for parking. Parking impossible except a little far from the event but nothing is planned for visitors from outside Le Puy, as if this event is reserved for ponots. Once parked a little far away, it was impossible to find my way to know how to get to the party (still no signage). In addition, the only toilet that I found with great difficulty was extremely dirty and the door did not lock. That said, this bad experience does not discourage me. But if I come back next year it will be to spend two days there going to the hotel because I can park my car there and do the rest on foot. On the other hand, I ask you to install more toilets and make them clean. THANKS (Original) Très déçue par l'organisation de cette fête. Je n'ai pas pu en profiter. Je suis venue y passer une seule journée pour la première fois afin de me faire une idée. Je ne suis par restée plus d'une heure car très mécontente de l'organisation : Aucune signalétique à mon arrivée au Puy. Aucune signalétique pour se garer. Stationnement impossible sauf un peu loin de la manifestation mais rien n'est prévu pour les visiteurs extérieurs au Puy, à croire que cette manifestation est réservée aux ponots. Une fois garée un peu loin, impossible de me repérer pour savoir comment me rendre à la fête (toujours aucune signalétique). De plus les seuls toilettes que j'ai trouvées avec beaucoup de mal étaient extrêmement sales et la porte ne se verrouillait pas. Cela dit cette mauvaise expérience ne me décourage pas. Mais si je reviens l'année prochaine ce sera pour passer deux jours sur place en allant à l'hôtel car je pourrai y garer ma voiture et faire le reste à pied. Par contre je vous demande d'installer plus de toilettes et qu'elle soient propres. Merci

Place du Plot is a legendary square known for its Saturday morning market, offering the best local cheese like l'Artisou. The cheese gets its unique flavor from tiny spiders running across it as it matures. Visitors can also enjoy the lively atmosphere and numerous restaurants in the area, with 'La Pelerine' standing out as a great spot to savor local products and delicious ice creams while enjoying friendly service.

(Translated by Google) Very disappointed with the professional lace tile I received yesterday. There's a one-centimeter gap between the blocks and the wooden structure.

(Translated by Google) Built in 1221 then enlarged in the 14th century, the Saint-Laurent church is the only Gothic church in Puy-en-Velay. Located a stone's throw from the town center and the Rocher St Michel, accessible to PRMs with parking nearby and ramp at the entrance. This work is regularly restored, the new lighting of the facades highlights it when evening arrives. Right next to the church, there is a square equipped with games for children and where you can stroll along the water's edge. This is a great way to have a good time and see beautiful things. (Original) Construite en 1221 puis agrandie au 14ème siècle, l’église Saint-Laurent est la seule église gothique au Puy-en-Velay.

Cet ouvrage est régulièrement restauré, le nouvel éclairage des façades le met en valeur quand arrive le soir. Juste contre l'église, il y a un square équipé de jeux pour enfants et où on peut flâner au bord de l'eau. Voilà de quoi passer un agréable moment et de voir de belles choses.
