Le Puy - Saint Michel d'Aiguilhe


Le Puy was a major bishopric in medieval France, founded very early, though the early history is legendary. It was for sure already a place of worship in pagan times.
268 steps are carved into the rock and lead up to Saint-Michel d'Aiguilhe, erected in 969 on a volcanic plug 82 metres high. Bishop Gotescalc founded the chapel to celebrate the return from the pilgrimage of Saint Jaques.
When the number of prilgrims climbing up grew in the 12th century, the chapel seen today was erected.
People of course still walk up the steps to the chapel. As this is not that really easy, there is a defibrillator up there.
