About the location

Chapelle du Puy Saint-Mary

Chapelle du Puy Saint-Mary 15200 MAURIAC

Cantal
Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

The chapel was built on the foundations of a pilgrimage chapel and then funfair of medieval times dedicated to Saint Mary. Installed on an old volcanic mouth, the chapel hosts every year, since the Middle Ages, a fair in June. The panorama is remarkable, it extends west from the gorges of the Dordogne to the mountains of Corrèze, north to the Sancy massif and east to the puys of the Cantalian volcano (orientation table).
