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

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.

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.

Underrated gem of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alps

Beautiful cathedral, also surrounding buildings are impressive.

The Cathedral, the Norte Dame de France and the surroundings are beautiful and hold the pretty little medieval town together.

A rare mixture of various architectural styles from Roman to Gothic to Oriental styles. A rich history to discover together with the rise and fall of the regional fortune. A must stop for visitors as well as pilgrims alike.

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).

One of the best and peaceful place in Marseille you can get always positive vibes when you entered in the Notre dame area

No need for reservation.Ticket bought on the spot.Amazing Sunday afternoon and amazing view.

Beautiful experience. Worth going up al the stairs.

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.

An incredible experience, climbing the hill and seeing the beautiful statue of the Virgin Mary. You can even climb up inside, like a lighthouse.

Yes it gave you a general idea of the location of the significant landmarks are. You even have time to take photos as they try and stop briefly for you. Be warned very bumpy ride so cushion you back/ spine

Great chance to see and enjoy the historic and exciting places in LE Puy-en-Velay.

Very good guided tour !

(Translated by Google) We learned a lot about the city, and the driver was very pleasant. €10 per adult for a 1-hour tour, and €6 for children. Photos taken from the little train. (Original) On apprend plein de choses sur la ville et chauffeuse très agréable. 10€ par adulte pour 1h de balade et 6€ pour les enfants. Photos prises du petit train.

(Translated by Google) I enjoyed the commentary, which was given by the driver of the little train, who explained and told the history of the city and its monuments. Yes, like all the others, it's not very comfortable, but you have to take it with a smile. 😀😀 (Original) J ai apprécié car les commentaires sont fait par la conductrice du petit train qui explique et raconte l histoire de la ville et des monuments. Après oui comme tous c est pas très confortable mais bon faut le prendre avec sourire .😀😀

Wonderful Pages outlet located in the center of Le Puy en Velay. Super staff speaking English, French and Spanish. Try the unique Verveine du Velay. Containing over 30 herbs including lemon verbena and star anis as the predominant flavor, this digestive is sure to please. Buy your favorite sweet tooth lover some chocoholic candies filled with their famous liquor. Highly recommended.

(Translated by Google) Very nice shop with verbena tasting. Wide selection of syrups. (Original) Très belle boutique avec dégustation des verveine. Large choix de sirop.

(Translated by Google) I discovered the existence of Verbena liqueur shortly before my departure for Auvergne. It's amazing; the verbena flavor combined with alcohol is amazing. It's surprising at first; you recognize the scent of the plant, then the alcohol surprises, but the taste is sumptuous. Be careful, it can become less pleasant if you drink too much. (Original) J'ai découvert l'existence de la liqueur de Verveine peu avant mon départ pour l'Auvergne. C'est une tuerie, la goût verveine associé à l'alcool, ça dechire. Ça surprend au début, on reconnait le parfum de la plante, puis l'alcool surprend, mais le gout est somptueux. Attention, il peut devenir moins plaisant si on en boit trop.

(Translated by Google) We are a senior couple with a small Spitz dog weighing less than 4 kg. While passing through Le Puy-en-Velay, we intended to bring back 6 bottles of Verveine du Velay Pages liqueur for ourselves and as gifts for our parents and friends. We had barely entered this Passage store on Friday, September 5, 2025, around 4:00 p.m. with our little dog in our arms, when we were verbally assaulted by the store employee who shouted at us: "No pets in our store, please leave!!!" After being literally chased out of the store and shocked by such attitude in this renowned store, a neighboring shopkeeper advised us to go to a nearby wine and liqueur store where we were very kindly welcomed, along with our little dog, and where we were able to purchase another brand of liqueur, delicious and much more attractively priced! Conclusion: Animal lovers, avoid this store and this Pages brand, which hates animals! (Original) Nous sommes un couple senior avec une petite chienne Spitz de moins de 4 kgs. De passage au Puy en Velay, nous avions l’intention de ramener pour nous même et pour cadeaux à nos parents et amis , 6 bouteilles de liqueur Verveine du Velay Pages . À peine rentré dans ce magasin du Passage Vendredi 5 Septembre 2025 vers 16h00 avec notre petite chienne au bras , nous avons été véritablement « agresses » verbalement par l’employée du magasin nous criant : « pas d’animaux dans notre magasin veuillez sortir !!! » Après avoir été littéralement chassé du magasin et choqué par une telle attitude dans cette boutique renommée, nous avons été conseillé par un commerçant voisin d’aller vers un magasin de vins et liqueur proche où nous avons été très gentiment accueillis ainsi que notre petit toutou et où nous avons pu acheter des liqueurs d’une autre marque , délicieuses et beaucoup plus intéressantes par le prix ! Conclusion : Amis des animaux fuyez ce magasin et cette marque Pages qui déteste les animaux !

(Translated by Google) Liqueurs from our Auvergne region, including the famous Birlou from Cantal and the Salers gentian. NB: still avoid putting artificial colorings in drinks, and please limit sugar as much as possible! (Original) Les liqueurs de notre région Auvergne, dont du Cantal le fameux Birlou et la gentiane Salers. NB : évitez tout de même de mettre des colorants artificiels dans les boissons, et limitez le sucre au maximum svp !

(Translated by Google) Very pleasant town centre shop, even though it was closed on Mondays. (Original) Boutique du centre ville très agréable , même si elle était fermée le lundi.

(Translated by Google) When the prices in store (in the city where the company is headquartered!!) are much more expensive than on their own website! €4.10 per box of tea in store vs. €3.20 on their website... Where is the logic? Furthermore, a blind store without natural light, not very attractive. I pity the employees who don't see the light of day all day. (Original) Quand les prix en magasin (dans la ville du siège de l'entreprise !!) sont beaucoup plus chers que sur leur propre site internet ! 4,10€ la boîte de thé en magasin vs. 3,20€ sur leur site internet... Où est la logique ? Par ailleurs magasin borgne sans lumière naturelle, pas très attirant. Je plains les salariés qui ne voient pas la lumière du jour de la journée.

What delightful food in lovely surroundings. Whoever thought of converting this beautiful building into a food hall desires a medal! Simply superb food at great prices. Highly recommended.

Nice place to grab a bite!

Very impressive set up. We will go back.

Good beers!

(Translated by Google) We had a great time with good advice from a great wine merchant, very knowledgeable and willing to let us taste his products. This allowed us to choose a beautiful bottle that was as close as possible to what we like. This is rare enough to be highlighted. Thank you. (Original) Très bon moment passé avec les bons conseils d un super caviste, très commerçant qui n hésite pas à faire goûter ses produits. Ce qui nous a permis de choisir une belle bouteille au plus proche de ce que nous aimons. C'est suffisamment rare pour être souligné. Merci.

(Translated by Google) Very pretty with a very nice outdoor terrace. However, very noisy table layout which makes it look like a canteen... Incompatible with the price offered. In fact to make a complete menu you easily reach 40 to 50€ At this price there are no services, you even get rid of it and you eat a hamburger in a canteen.. Too bad these are quality fresh products...But I find quality, fresh products with the added service and intimacy in a four restaurant sometimes much cheaper with more choice. I don't really understand the concept in a place like this we expect to have a lot more choice with stands offering completely different things and if it's a self-service concept we don't expect this rating (there it's just the starter in one place the hot main course in another and the dessert elsewhere everyone has to earn their living so everything is very expensive) (Original) Très jolie avec une très belle terrasse extérieure. Cependant très bruyant disposition des tables qui fait très cantine... Incompatible avec le prix proposé. En effet pour faire un menu complet vous atteignez facilement les 40 50€ À ce prix là pas de services vous débarrassez-vous même et vous mangez un hamburger dans une cantine.. Dommage ce sont des produits frais de qualité...Mais je retrouve la qualité, les produits frais avec en plus le service et l'intimité dans un restaurant four parfois bien moins cher avec plus de choix. Je ne comprends pas trop le concept dans un endroit comme celui-ci on s'attend à avoir beaucoup plus de choix avec des stands qui proposent des choses complètement différentes et si c'est un concept libre-service on ne s'attend pas à cette note là ( là c'est juste l'entrée à un endroit le plat chaud à un autre et le dessert encore ailleurs chacun devant gagner sa vie donc tout est très cher)

(Translated by Google) Very nice place where everyone can find delicious things to eat. We tasted the burratta tomato salad, the pizza, the sushi, the burgers, the melted cheese, the ice cream… Everything was perfect! Smugglers are great wine advisors. The place is very pleasant, we are comfortable inside and outside and the people are very nice! Absolutely worth testing! (Original) Très bel endroit où chacun peut trouver de délicieuses choses à manger. Nous avons goûté la salade de tomates burratta, la pizza, les sushis, les burgers, le fromage fondu, les glaces… Tout était parfait ! Les contrebandiers sont de super conseillers pour le vin. L’endroit est très agréable, on y est bien installés à l’intérieur comme à l’extérieur et les gens y sont très gentils ! A tester absolument !

Atmospheric. Tough climb up the steps but worth it. Good information available.

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.

Visiting Rocher Saint-Michel d'Aiguilhe is a must of you are visiting Le Puy! The trek to the chappel took about 10 mins, but the views and experience were incredible.

Wonderful 260 steps up..with stop benches..if you do not want to eun all theway up and take in the view. Beautiful chapel

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!

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.

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.

We would give it a 5 star if the service was better. We were the 2nd table to arrive at the restaurant and placed our orders promptly but our foods were delivered much slower than other late arrivals and our after dinner cafe was not delivered at all. The beef tartare was excellent, the lamb shank was good too. The steak was a bit over cooked.

Great food and amazing service with a smile. Will definitely come back. Highly recommended!!!

Excellent restaurant,

(Translated by Google) A wonderful evening at this establishment: a superb welcome, truly pleasant staff, delicious dishes made with local produce and meticulously presented. And a bonus: the live music provided by a pianist and singer. I recommend this place to avoid the crowds near the cathedral, even though it's just a short walk away. (Original) Belle soirée dans cet établissement : un superbe accueil, le personnel est vraiment agréable, de bons petits plats élaborés avec des produits locaux et une présentation soignée. Et petit plus avec une ambiance musicale d'un pianiste et chanteur. Je vous recommande l'adresse pour éviter la foule près de la cathédrale, et pourtant à quelques pas.

(Translated by Google) Very warm welcome, very pleasant waiter and waitresses. Very friendly owner. The terrace is particularly popular during warm summer evenings. The meal is very generous, but there's a slight drawback regarding the hot dish (duck parmentier). A little expensive for what it is, but it could have done with a little more duck on the plate, as it's almost entirely absent. But overall, a great discovery. (Original) Très bon accueil, serveur et serveuses très agréables. Patron très sympa. Terrasse particulièrement appréciée pendant les chaudes soirées d'été. Le repas est très copieux mais petit bémol concernant le plat chaud (parmentier de canard). Un peu cher pour ce que c'est, ça mériterait quand même un peu plus de canard dans l'assiette car quasiment absent. Mais dans l'ensemble belle decouverte.

(Translated by Google) A bistro with a distinctly gourmet feel. We entered by chance while strolling through Le Puy-en-Velay. And chance does things very well!!! A warm welcome. Impeccable service down to the smallest detail and succulent, generous dishes. While enjoying our aperitif, we saw a most appetizing sushi platter. Surprising for a French bistro... seeing them immediately made us want to try them. And we were not disappointed!!! A real treat!!! And after chatting with the owner, it turns out that it's a sushi master who's treating us!!! This is one of the many reasons to come and discover this beautiful place. In addition to the quality of the dishes (including the presentation), there is, and this is just as important, the quality of the service. The kindness of the owner and staff, the attention paid to ensuring our meal runs smoothly, it's all there. The white wine is even served in a bucket with ice cubes. And that's not the case everywhere... We even got to watch the sea bream being filleted live!!! The server's skill must be commended!!! A little show to cap off this wonderful moment. I can only recommend you come and discover this gem. Cuisine without much fuss but with great quality. And that's exactly what we're looking for to enjoy a truly memorable French experience. (Original) Un bistrot avec un grand air de Gastro. Nous sommes entrés par hasard en flânant dans le Puy en Velay. Et le hasard fait très bien les choses!!! Un accueil chaleureux. Un service irréprochable dans les moindres détails et des plats succulents et généreux. En dégustant notre apéro, nous voyons passer un plat de sushis des plus appétissants. Étonnant pour un bistro français… les voir nous a tout de suite donné envie de les goûter. Et nous n’avons pas été déçus!!! Un vrai régal!!! Et en discutant avec le patron, il s’avèrent que ces un maître sushis qui nous régale!!! C’est donc une des nombreuses raisons de venir découvrir ce bel endroit. En plus de la qualité des plats (y compris dans le dressage), il y a, et c’est tout aussi important, la qualité du service. La gentillesse du patron et du personnel, l’attention apporté au bon déroulement de notre repas, tout y est. Le vin blanc est même servi en seau avec des glaçons. Et ce n’est pas le cas partout… Nous avons même pu assisté au levage des filets de la dorade en direct!!! Il faut saluer la maîtrise du serveur!!! Un petit spectacle pour ponctuer ce beau moment. Je ne peux donc que vous conseiller de venir découvrir cette pépite. Une cuisine sans grand chichi mais avec beaucoup de qualité. Et c’est bien ce qu’on recherche pour passer un bon moment de gastronomie à la française.

(Translated by Google) Excellent dessert (a homemade tart❤️) served with a smile... (My birthday cake 🥳, she'll understand🤣). High-quality staff. I didn't have the opportunity to have the full meal...no problem: I'll come back down from Normandy and I'll come back🤗. Thank you again... (Original) Excellent dessert (tarte de l'instant❤️) servi avec le sourire... (Mon gateau d'anniversaire 🥳, elle comprendra🤣). Personnel de grande qualité. Je n'ai pas eu l'opportunité de prendre le repas complet...qu'a cela ne tienne: je redescendrai de la normandie et je REVIENDRAI🤗. Encore MERCI...

Enjoyed a lovely meal with good service. Reasonable value for money. Good idea to book as it seemed popular but not essential if you get there at 7pm.

Stopped for a drink and ended up staying for dinner. It’s nothing special but the wine by the glass was better than most and reasonably priced, same for the food. Would recommend if you’re looking for a nice place for a drink and/or dinner

The food as very good and very good customer service. The staff was very nice and very recommendable.

Great pub style restaurant with an eclectic menu. I would like to say my carpaccio was abundant and well seasoned. Although very tough and hard to cut. The bread and beer is excellent. Good atmosphere inside, and patio seating.

Nice local food and a lot of different beers.

Great place for Dinner in LePuy. Go early as it gets busy!

Superb experience from the time we walked through the door. We had 2 dogs with us and staff offered water and snacks before dealing with us humans. Menu options spot on. Staff accommodated my gluten free. Food wS exceptional as was my breton cider. Inside decor a must for all Lord of the Rings fans.

Arrogant bastard. We asked when we will be served, he replied tomorrow.

(Translated by Google) Excellent little restaurant that has all the makings of a big one! Charming service, pleasant room, and very good cuisine based on fresh produce, often organic and always plant-based (+ a little cheese). The menu changes every day. In the evening, formula at 18 or 25 €, fairly reasonable prices. As for wine, a limited choice, but the (honest) bottles of red are €20, which is entirely reasonable. We were delighted to come for a romantic dinner, but the restaurant lends itself to all atmospheres (we met a small group of young friends as well as a family). In short, a great discovery in the upper town of Puy! (Original) Excellent petit restaurant qui a tout d'un grand ! Service charmant, salle agréable, et une très bonne cuisine à base de produits frais, souvent bio et toujours végétaux (+ un peu de fromage). Le menu change tous les jours. Le soir, formule à 18 ou 25 €, tarifs assez raisonnables. Côté vin, un choix restreint, mais les (honnêtes) bouteilles de rouge sont à 20 €, ce qui est tout à fait raisonnable. Nous avons été ravis de venir pour un dîner en amoureux, mais le restaurant se prête à toutes les ambiances (on y a croisé aussi bien un petit groupe de jeunes amis qu'une famille). Bref, une bien chouette découverte dans la ville haute du Puy !

(Translated by Google) A very nice discovery at the foot of the Cathedral! Each dish is carefully composed, delicious, and healthy. The welcome is very warm. All for very reasonable prices given the quality of the dishes and the care taken in presentation and service. No frustration at not eating meat, even for my parents-in-law, convinced carnivores. To discover and rediscover! (Original) Une très belle découverte au pied de la Cathédrale ! Chaque plat est composé avec soin, gourmand, et sain. L'accueil est très chaleureux. Le tout pour des prix très raisonnables au vu de la qualité des plats et du soin apporté à la présentation et au service. Aucune frustration de ne pas manger de viande, même pour mes beaux parents, carnivores convaincus. A découvrir et redécouvrir !

(Translated by Google) Delicious. Fresh seasonal products cooked very well. The Burger is killer. Not to be missed because everything is there. Very reasonable prices. (Original) Délicieux. Des produits frais de saison super bien cuisines. Le Burger une tuerie. A ne pas manquer car tout y est. Tarifs très correctes.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful location, good vegetarian cuisine, special mention for the chestnut fondant and professional service. Perfect value for money! (Original) Bel emplacement, bonne cuisine végétarienne mention spéciale pour le fondant au marron et service professionnel. Parfait rapport qualité prix !

(Translated by Google) Very well located and warm welcome. I was apprehensive about the vegetarian. It was pleasantly surprising. (Original) Très bien situé et bon accueil. J'avais de l'appréhension pour le végétarien. Ce fut agréablement surprenant.

L'émotion is our go to restaurant in Le Puy. They have a regularly varying menu, a good selection of drinks, my personal favorite being the local craft beer, and very cheerful and welcoming staff. In summer you can find the most refreshing selection of dishes here with classics like beef tartare, maquerels or carpaccios and original ideas like sorbets based on vegetables. We mainly like the gastronomic menu though on week days they also serve quicker and simpler alternatives.

Very good value for money. In a one week stay, we went there two times. Starter, main course, dessert, wine... All is so tasty and well presented. Service is as expected with good advice for the wine.

Overpriced for the experience I had I was expecting to pay more for a great gastronomic experience. That what the restaurant seems to offer, but I regret to say that I am and I end up in another overpriced and pretencious restaurant. The entrance of the restaurant looks like an hotel check-in, maybe it was in the past, but it doesn't look bad at all. The room has a quite and confortable environment and it is pleasant. I ordered an Carpaccio as the starter which was for me the worst experience of the menu, too much cheese sauce and a ridiculous among of carpaccio. I felt really frustrated because it was almost none. If carpaccio isn't the main ingredient, change the name to "Cheese sauce with few notes of carpaccio" The main dish was a very well cooked and quality piece a meat but with a roasted carrot only. Which I finished in 1 minute. Then the cheese. they were good, but 3 very thin and tiny slices of cheese, it would enough for me as an experience, if the main dish was with reasonable quantity. I felt the quantity were less nice than a supermarket offer in the cheese section. Oh well, the dessert was saved the day. funny that the dessert should be in the experience the smaller dish, but it was the bigger one, but I guess I can thank the chef for providing me less food to allow me to not feel guilty when I eat the dessert. in total, we spend 43€ each. I think it is overpriced for the gastronomic experience, could be easily improved by quantities in Carpaccio starter and with something more than a carrot.

Wow. What a Service, what a location and the food. C' est emotion pure. Merci beaucoup.

A fantastic place! Everything we took was just delicious, original and in high quality. Great wine as well. Very recommended

Really enjoyed my evening. Perfect food, great hospitality. Thank you for a great evening.

Excellent !

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

Large space - lots of walking paths, much less ‘Jardin’ lotsa benches to take in the summer sun, this time of the year, running, walking, kids play area, kids with guitars. Nice atmosphere very Summery.

Gives you peace alongside with lots of oxygen.

I loved this iconic pretty park in le Puy.A real respite from scorching heat and a good park with a lake and a swan and ducks .Even two wallabys and a deer.I came here to enjoy shade and a restful area.Yes it's the Henri Vinay Garden opposite Crozatier museum.A must visit in Le Puy.

Nice and beautiful parc. On 6 July 2018 the museum will be opened.

Peaceful

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."

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.

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

Interesting collection - a bit of everything. From spear tips to modern art. Well worth the entrance fee.

####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.

Nice museum with every theme for anyone

This is an odd place because of the disjointed mixture of exhibits, archaeology to art. Such is the eclectic mix, we felt it might almost have been filled with stuff other places did not want. Might interest some, but we were left slightly bemused

(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. Et il fait trop chaud dans la salle des trésors, du coup on a pas trop envie de rester pour regarder les œuvres exposées (il y a peu de lumière en plus, pour conserver certe mais parfois c'est vraiment plus que léger.)

(Translated by Google) Not far from the cathedral and part of the culture pass, this place is definitely worth the detour. (Original) Pas bien loin de la cathédrale et faisant parti du pass culture, ce lieu vaut le détour assurément..

(Translated by Google) The tour was fascinating, thanks to our guide... Absolutely do the 3:30 p.m. tour (longer) but which will take you to places that are inaccessible... I highly recommend it (Original) La visite était passionnante, grâce à notre guide ... Absolument faire celle de 15h30 (plus longue) mais qui vous emmènera dans des endroits non accessible...Je recommande fortement

(Translated by Google) Very nice place where you start by admiring the exterior, then discover an exhibition and end up exploring small rooms as you go deeper into the building. The entrance is just before arriving at the virgin and the exit is at the cathedral stairs. a very interesting visit that even the children enjoyed. (Original) Très bel endroit ou on commence par admirer l'extérieur pour ensuite découvrir une exposition et finir par explorer des petites pièces en s'enfonçant dans le bâtiment. L'entrée ce fait juste avant l'arrivée à la vierge et la sortie se fait au niveau des escaliers de la cathédrale. une visite très intéressante que même les enfants ont apprécié.

(Translated by Google) Visited on August 17, 2025. Magnificent cloister with a beautiful treasure room. Not to be missed! (Original) Visité le 17 aout 2025. Magnifique cloitre avec une belle salle aux trésors. A ne pas manquer !

(Translated by Google) Magical and relaxing! This cloister, inspired by Romanesque architecture, is a haven of peace in the heart of Puy-en-Velay ❤️ (Original) Magique et reposant ! Ce cloître, d'inspiration architecturale romane, est un havre de paix en plein cœur du Puy-en-Velay ❤️

(Translated by Google) Next to the cathedral. Worth the detour. Superb view of the Virgin Mary. (Original) A côté de la cathédrale. Vaut le détour. Superbe vue sur la vierge..

Truly amazing dining experience. Very well balanced and presented. I had mackarel and cod and both were excellent. I reserved on-line a few hours before coming. A very minor drawback was someone smoking at a table far from me, but I could still smell it a bit, as a minor distraction. That is more of a criticism of the French attitudes towards this repulsive addiction. I would love to return to this place.

This place gets my stars. Stupendous presentation of all food - almost too beautiful to eat. Gracious, informative and attentive bilingual service. But the taste of the food the best. I can still taste the kohlrabi in the amuse-bouche, the luscious spray surrounding my cod in sauce over barley - sounds pedestrian but it was anything but (see picture). Scrumptious dessert of lightly liquor-soaked cake and chocolate - so many flavors I ate it in tiny pieces to experience it all. French food is fine and elegant but this was far beyond what we’d experienced. Not cheap but why are you in France? Experience this!

Cosy restaurant with a lovely courtyard right below the Le Puy cathedral. Very friendly and helpful staff, great food and an impressive winelist.

We spent an amazing evening at Les Flaneurs! The food is delicious and the presentation is amazing. The management kindness and experience worth the dinner, they helped me organize a super Birthday Surprise 😊 For the restaurant Manager, if you will ever read this, Annecy was amazing!! Thanks a lot for the suggestion 🏔️

Delightful and truly authentic customer caring! Impressive and excellent cooking. Very original and affordable wine card. An incredible price quality ratio. A Star restaurant on its way thanks to a great duo! Thank you so much

Superb place to have lunch. We couldn't fault a thing. A great find!

(Translated by Google) What a joy and what a great find. Top staff, the kindness of the boss and our very smiling waitress were a plus to these culinary masterpieces savored in a magnificent setting. Special dedication to the very original pecan lentil dessert which merges lots of flavors and to the cod accompanied by barley... Unfortunately we live too far away to be able to come back very quickly... 😭 (Original) Quel bonheur et quelle belle trouvaille. Personnel au top , la gentillesse du patron et de notre serveuse très souriante étaient un plus à ces chefs d'oeuvres culinaires savourés dans un cadre magnifique. dédicace particulière au dessert pécan lentilles très original qui fait fusionner pleins de saveurs et à la morue accompagnée d orges... Hélas nous habitons trop loin pour pouvoir revenir très rapidement... 😭

This is a very nice hotel with a pleasant and accommodating staff. The room was fine, the bed comfortable and the buffet breakfast had multiple options. It's also just a few minutes walk from all the things to see and do. The only negative is the lack of air conditioning in the room.

Excellent room. Very comfortable and spacious. Recently refurbished I think. No bike garage but the manager kept our bikes next to her office. Great service.

Stayed here a couple of times. Always a safe bet. Clean, comfortable rooms (quite spacious) with a decent breakfast. A shortish walk to the cathedral.

parfait

Correct

(Translated by Google) We spent two nights at the Chris'tel in early September. We appreciated the friendly staff, who were very helpful with anything we needed. (5 stars +++) Both nights were peaceful, and the room was appreciated. We had dinner both nights at the hotel, and the restaurant is also recommended; the dishes served are homemade. The hotel's location is 500 meters (10 minutes) from the historic center, but it wasn't a problem at all, as we were able to enjoy the peace and quiet of the Henri Vinay Gardens as we walked through it on our way there. A great place to stay. (Original) Nous avons passé 2 nuits au Chris'tel début septembre. Nous avons apprécié le personnel sympathique et très disponible pour quoi que ce soit. (5 étoiles +++) Les 2 nuits sont paisibles, la chambre appréciée. Nous avons diné les 2 soirs à l’hôtel et le restaurant est recommandé également, les plats servis sont "faits maison". L'emplacement de l’hôtel se situe à 500 mètres (10 minutes) du centre historique mais pas gênant du tout car nous avons pu apprécier le calme du jardin Henri Vinay en le traversant pour y aller. Une bonne adresse.

A good and tasty burger for fair price. Original types of burgers. I recommend. I love that everything is made by the restaurant specially the bread and french fries (that is very important) The service is automatic, you have to put the your dishes back. maybe you say "like most of burgers on fast food places". maybe it is true, but I can't not give 5 stars for the service and atmosphere for that. I give 5 stars for the relation food and price tho, I recommend and will be back

Excellent

(Translated by Google) The burgers are super good! The smash burger in size M contains 2 steaks. The sauces are delicious and the breads ultra soft. Incredible value for money. The only downside was that some fries were not well cooked and quite soft but just as delicious. (Original) Les burgers sont ultras bons ! Le smash burger en taille M contient 2 steacks. Les sauces sont délicieuses et les pains ultras moelleux. Rapport qualité prix incroyable. Seuls bémol, quelque frite n’étaient pas bien cuite et assez molle mais tout autant délicieuse

(Translated by Google) In my opinion, the best burger in Le Puy, without hesitation. Exceptional burger, homemade fries, quality sauce, very warm welcome, and very clean premises with a stylish and refined atmosphere. You feel respected in this burger place; it feels good! (Original) À mon avis, le Meilleur burger du Puy, sans hésiter.

(Translated by Google) You want great value burgers: dark! I highly recommend it! (Original) Vous voulez des burgers très bon rapport qualité prix : foncés ! Je vous le recommande chaudement !

Easy 30 min walk from Le Puy and worth it, you’ll get a great view of the city.

Over the top Catholic imagery

Disappointed as cannot climb to the base, grotto shrine is good though

Lovely little church. It was a little sad to see nobody there, other than myself. But it was good that I can have my private moment of prayer. The gatev that led to the giant statue was closed. So, I guessed it wasn't open on that day (1st Friday of the month). They was a piety shop there. And it was open, nice place to look around. On hindsight, I could've asked the last tending the shop if it was closed for the day, or they open the gate for access only when requested.🙁

Unfortunately the statue was closed for safety reasons, but the small cave chapel is stunning.

Original and special art works inspire the viewer

Super

(Translated by Google) Very nice church. The pillars are illuminated at the top and everything generally looks very harmonious. (Original) Sehr schöne Kirche. Die Säulen sind oben beleuchtet und allgemein wirkt alles sehr stimmig.

(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. Située à deux pas du centre ville et du Rocher St Michel, accessible aux PMR avec parking à proximité et rampe à l'entrée. 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.

(Translated by Google) I am surprised and shocked to see that according to Google a holy place is touristy rather than a place where the divine, holiness comes to you.... Noted the house of God is insulting to me passing through his home. “Forgive them, they don’t know what they are doing” (32 years AD himself) (Original) Je m'étonne et choqué de voir que selon Google un lieu saint soit touristique plutôt qu'un lieu où le divin, la sainteté viens à vous....

(Translated by Google) A truly wonderful experience! The 2-hour electric scooter ride allowed us to rediscover the region. Our excellent guide was also our guide, with extensive knowledge of the Puy-de-Dôme region and its history. As athletic and adrenaline junkies, we were also well served, as he guided us along good trails. Our instructor also gave excellent advice to those who were less adventurous! I truly recommend it for everyone!!! (Original) Une très bonne expérience ! La balade de 2h en trottinette électrique. Nous a permis de re-découvrir la région.

(Translated by Google) Very well organized. Authentic celebrations full of enthusiasm and joy! The music, the costumes, the shows, the food, the taverns, etc. Everything is thought out with attention to detail. I highly recommend it! (Original) Très bonne organisation. Fêtes authentiques pleines d'entrain et de joie ! La musique, les costumes, les spectacles, la nourriture, les tavernes, etc... Tout est pensé avec le sens du détail. Je recommande vivement !

(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!!! (Original) J’adore cette fête je l’est toujours faite du début à la fin pour les personnes qui écrit qu’il y’a pas d’organisation je suis totalement pas d’accord et de plus le roi de l’oiseau c’est une fête quant fait un peu comme on veut !! Et c’est très bien signalé de partout Après pour le stationnement ok c’est compliqué mais sa s’organise le roi de l’oiseau donc ce qui veut dire déjà tu trouve un logement avec stationnement ou parking et tu iva a pieds c’est logique que tu va pas gare en plein milieu du puy faut être juste logique !!!

(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

(Translated by Google) I attended this festival for the first time, it was magical!! 💥✨🌟It seems that it is the biggest medieval festival in Europe, go there without hesitation next year, with your family, the children will love it 😉 (Original) J'ai fait se festival pour la 1ère fois, c'était magique !! 💥✨🌟Il paraît que c'est le plus grand festival médiéval d'Europe,allez y sans hésiter l'année prochaine,en famille, les enfants vont adorer 😉

(Translated by Google) Very nice party, lovely shows, a good atmosphere that reigns throughout life. A real happiness that would almost make you forget the long difficult months of COVID. (Original) Très belle fête, de jolis spectacles, une bonne ambiance qui règne dans toute la vie. Un vrai bonheur qui feraient presque oublier les longs mois difficiles du COVID.

(Translated by Google) Well done this year again... a success for this King the Bird Festival...I'm coming d quite far but still with great pleasure for a long time. Thank you to all the volunteers who are involved. (Original) Bravo cette année encore.. une réussite pour cette fête du roi l oiseau ...Je viens d assez loin mais toujours avec beaucoup de plaisir depuis longtemps. Merci à tous les bénévoles qui s investissent.

(Translated by Google) I think it has become less attractive than it was a few years ago. The meals offered by the festival have become very expensive for what we eat. Really a shame, because I really liked the atmosphere and the theme. I love the medieval hypocras wine which is sold occasionally. With a piece of bacon and potatoes it's a treat!! (Original) Je trouve que c'est devenu moins attrayant qu'il y a quelques années. Les repas proposés par le festival sont devenu très cher pour ce que l'on mange. Vraiment dommage, car j'aimais bien l'ambiance et le thème. J'adore le vin médiéval l'hypocras qui est vendu à l'occasion. Avec un morceau de lard et des pommes de terre c'est un régal !!

Dismissive staff and not accommodating to hungry bikers even though it says they are open online

(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.

(Translated by Google) I really enjoyed visiting the Hôtel-Dieu and its digital art center in Le-Puy-en-Velay.

Great service for walkers on the Camino. Unfortunately for me, no English speakers.

Not so interesting in my opinion, museum consists mainly of audio files

Incredible people. Come here if you’re starting the Chemin, or not.

(Translated by Google) A museum housed in a surprising building, organized on several levels: the visit begins at the top and continues down, which is quite original.

Café‑jardin Mgr Henri Brincard, havre de paix ouvert à tous, avec boissons, gaufres, potages, tables en plein air au pied de la cathédrale. 👍 Ce qui m'a plu lors de ma visite : Immersion sensorielle interactive et forte émotion.

Lieu de ressourcement, accessible tant aux pèlerins qu’aux touristes et aux habitants. 🛠️ Particularités : Lieu à la fois musée, espace pèlerin, centre d’accueil et café convivial.

Il propose une immersion interactive dans le chemin de Compostelle à travers vidéos, maquettes, témoignages. 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.

(Translated by Google) Small stop in this small cool garden, drinks on small tables. Small photos Short tour of a room set up like an old classroom. Everything is very small except for the saving rest and the bell! (Original) Petite halte dans ce petit jardin au frais, boissons sur petites tables. Petites photos Petite visite d'une pièce aménagée comme une ancienne salle de classe. Tout est tout petit sauf le repos salvateur et la cloche !

(Translated by Google) I tried the garden cafe on August 18, 2025. The staff is friendly and the products are good. The prices aren't that high. (Original) J'ai testé le café-jardin le 18 août 2025. Le personnel est sympathique et il y a de bons produits. Les tarifs ne sont pas si élevés.

Fantastic experience. A really old castle in the sky. Extensive views of the surrounding countryside.

(Translated by Google) A very surprising castle due to its structure and its evolution over 1000 years! Top guides, good speakers, lots of interesting details for those interested 😀. The visit lasts about 1h30. The "inside path" allows you to tour the building in 10 to 15 minutes and see the imposing structure from all angles. (Original) Château très surprenant de part sa structure et ses évolutions sur 1000 ans ! Guides au top, bonnes oratrices, pleins de détails intéressants pour qui s'intéresse 😀. La visite dure environ 1h30. Le "chemin de dedans" permet de faire le tour de l'édifice en 10 à 15 minutes et voir l'imposante structure sous tous ses angles.

(Translated by Google) Truly magnificent, a dream landscape, this castle perched on its rock with a superb 360° panoramic view is really worth the detour and to top it all off, 2 friendly young women very experienced to tell us the history of the residence over the centuries. Not to be missed under any circumstances....

(Translated by Google) We visited Bouzols Castle after consulting a brochure. We had the opportunity to take a guided tour with a guide named Bénédicte. This young woman, through her narration of the history of this castle and fortress, transported us through time, from its construction to the present day. This castle is magnificent; it offers panoramic views and transports us to another era for a good hour and a half. If you are in the area, we highly recommend a visit to Bouzols Castle.

Super delicious

Excellent

Excellent value for money 3-course lunch menu. Very friendly staff. Just a few steps from the cathedral.

We have been to this place, and at first they don’t have a wine list, the waitress tell you like 10 different kinds of wine without telling you the prices. Then my daughter ask for a vegetarian plate that came with a worm, and in my husband’s dish came with a rock and he broke his tooth, the chef came to our table saying he was so “ desolee” but they did not evem gave us a penny of discount. And the food was less than ok. Bad experience in such a nice town such as Le Puy en Velay.

Carte Blanche. Every course a surprise and a delight. Laid back. Go here!

The food is simple but very delicious.

Fantastic, affordable and inventive French modern style cooking. The services is also very pleasant. A must go in Le Puy en Velay.

TB moment

While I was there, they only have a set daily menu. Basically, you eat what the chef was making that day. That's my understanding, I don't speak French well enough to enquire more about their menu, or operation. Service was very helpful, hospitable and friendly. The girl that served me had little understanding of English and she did not seemed put off at all by having to serve me, in any way. I think this place is a local favourite and a good spot for people watch. It scored little for me because of the wanton smoking. I guess there was no law forbidding smoking in public places in France, as there are in the 2 countries I live/work in: Australia & Malaysia. So, I wasn't used to that at all. Unfortunately, that did dampened my experience there. But food and service top notch! Highly recommended for people who don't mind the smell of (tobacco) smoke.

(Translated by Google) While visiting Le Puy, we ate the full menu of the day for €18.50. Nothing to complain about: pastry and coleslaw, lasagna salad, and a choice of lemon meringue pie or crumble. It was very good; we'll definitely come back again. (Original) En visite au Puy, nous avons mangé le menu complet du jour pour 18,50€. Rien à dire : pâte en croûte et salade coleslaw, lasagne salade et au choix tarte au citron meringuée ou crumble. C'était très bon, nous reviendrons à l'occasion.

(Translated by Google) Average experience, the day we came the daily special was not great, the children's menus with fries and nuggets were even less so, the burger bun was mediocre,... apart from the service we were quite disappointed and it was very difficult to digest. (Original) Expérience moyenne, le jour où on est venu le plat du jour n'était pas terrible, les menus enfants avec frites et nuggets l'étaient encore moins, le pain du burger était bof,... mis à part le service on était assez déçu et on a eu beaucoup de mal à le digérer.

(Translated by Google) During our vacation we found this restaurant which we really liked, impeccable service and friendly owner, we ate very well. (Original) Pendant nos vacances nous avons trouvé ce restaurant qui nous a beaucoup plus, service impeccable et patron sympa, nous avons très bien mangés.

(Translated by Google) Superb restaurant! I went to eat there for lunch, pleasant and fast service. The meal was very good, I took the starter/main course/dessert formula for €17. I recommend this restaurant! 😉 The bar at the entrance is also very pretty. 😌 (Original) Superbe restaurant ! j’ai été y manger le midi, un service agréable et rapide. Le repas était très bon j’ai pris la formule entrer / plat / dessert à 17 €. Je recommande ce restaurant ! 😉 Le bar à l’entrée est également très joli. 😌

(Translated by Google) Excellent! At any level! Welcome, service, menu, everything comes together in this establishment to have a pleasant time. The staff takes great care, as does the owner. And a very important plus for me, everything was very clean, the toilets too! I highly recommend! Thank you all for this nice and delicious lunch break and see you soon 😉 (Original) Excellent! A tout niveau! Accueil, service, menu, tout est réuni dans cet établissement pour passer un agréable moment. Le personnel est au petit soin, tout comme le propriétaire. Et un plus très important pour moi, tout était très propre, les sanitaires aussi! Je recommande vivement! Merci à tous pour cette pause déjeuner sympathique et gourmande et à bientôt 😉

(Translated by Google) Great place. Great team! I recommend it. (Original) Super lieu. Équipe au top ! Je recommande.
