Old town ascent
Narrow streets and stairways climb the hillside in tight curves toward the cathedral. This creates the densest, most intricate part of the map.

About this Le Puy-en-Velay map poster
Le Puy-en-Velay sits in a basin of the Massif Central surrounded by old volcanic landforms. The map shows it clearly. Streets climb the slope in tight, winding curves toward the cathedral near the top of the old town. The lower town spreads out on gentler ground, and small rivers and newer districts fill the basin.
Two volcanic pinnacles define its skyline. One, the Rocher Corneille, is crowned by a large red statue of the Virgin. The other, at Aiguilhe, holds the chapel of Saint-Michel on its summit. The cathedral is part of the UNESCO-listed Routes of Santiago de Compostela, and the town is the traditional starting point of the Via Podiensis. It is also known for lace-making and green lentils.
A Le Puy-en-Velay map poster turns this vertical town into a concentrated, intricate plan. There are spiralling upper lanes, a looser lower grid and scattered volcanic outcrops. It is a distinctive map for pilgrims, walkers and anyone who knows the Auvergne.

Volcanic pinnacles
The Rocher Corneille and the Aiguilhe rock stand out as small, distinct forms near the centre. They are the town's most recognisable landmarks.
Pilgrim route start
From the upper town, the Via Podiensis heads south-west toward Santiago. For walkers it is a meaningful line on the map.
