There was once in the Velay a team of heritage and history-lovers who wished, above all, to tell others about their wonderful land.
They had explored hills and forests in this unique landscape inherited from a volcanic past; they had met the local inhabitants, listened to the old people and their oral traditions and had understood their way of life.
Their enthusiasm led them to consult specialists and pursue professional studies. They learnt how to become competent group leaders and to transmit their knowledge with warmth and enthusiasm. Finally, after acquiring the precious diplomas, they became qualified guides.
Today
our guides and tour leaders in the Velay are available all year to show you around and tell you about their region. All aspects of heritage are a source of passionate interest to our guides, who will be delighted to organise your visits to churches, castles, traditional villages, museums, farm museums, exceptional natural heritage sites, historical craftsmanship and industrial locations and all places where memories linger …………
You will learn how the structure of a rural society developed over the centuries.
Tours and themed visits are organised on request.
Follow the guide and let yourself be carried away
