"The climb up the steep hill is worth it. This is an interesting church designed around its geographical position. The stairs lead up to the centre of the church, most unusual, and inside the artwork is worth a look."
"This is a very peaceful place.
There are not a lot of people around.
Note that there are steep pedestrian streets to get there.
We found this place geared towards the pilgrims heading to St James of Compostel in Spain. Le Puy-en-Velay is one of the starting point to the route to St James. "
