Loudes

Tucked into the volcanic uplands of the Velay in Haute-Loire, Loudes is a place whose character is shaped by open farmland and the highland conditions of south-central France. The commune lies west of Le Puy-en-Velay and is associated with Le Puy–Loudes Airport, a small regional airfield that gives this rural area an unexpected transport link. Nearby Le Puy-en-Velay is an important French pilgrimage town: its cathedral is connected with the Via Podiensis, one of the historic routes towards Santiago de Compostela. Loudes is a useful point of reference for exploring the quieter side of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, where fields and volcanic terrain define the Velay.
