Le Puy-en-Valey (about 30 min. from Grazac) is our closest city. It is built up on the puys (solidified lava peaks) that rise from the valley. These peaks are crowned with huge statues; one of St. Joseph and one the the Virgin Mary. The Romanesque cathedral, Notre Dame -du- Puy, is also built on a large pinnacle, reached by a steep, stone staircase. The town becomes particularly colorful on Saturday mornings at "le marché en plein air".
