Saint Michel d’Aiguilhe by Dominique
From The Chapel that Rises 280ft from a Massive Lava Plug:
“Saint Michel d’Aiguilhe in Le Puy en Velay in southern France seems to grow out of the rock it was built on in the 10th century. The steep climb – 268 steps to the top, 85 metres (280 ft) up – did not deter pilgrims then and likewise doesn’t deter visitors now. The history of this well-preserved church is fascinating and the views are simply stunning.”
