With the summer heat, we've got some ideas for you to avoid melting in the sun while still enjoying the good weather in Velay. Here are our tips and tricks for staying cool this season!

Bathing places

Swimming is definitely the highlight of this summer! Between lakes, ponds, and swimming pools, there's something for everyone here! So head to Lake Bouchet , the Loire gorges , or the Allier gorges . You can also try rafting or canoeing/kayaking!

Animal

During the heatwave, stay in the shade! For this, we invite you to the Henri Vinay garden in Le Puy-en-Velay. In addition, you can also get some fresh air in our treetop adventure parks or on a zip line.

To eat an ice cream

What's better than enjoying a delicious ice cream to cool off in the summer? To do so, visit our gourmet retailers in Puy-en-Velay, such as Anicien, Amorino, Bio Givrés, Gourmandiz, Mézia, and Santa Lucia.

Everyone to the museum!

Come and enjoy indoor cultural and recreational activities to stay cool: La Chaise-Dieu Abbey , Compostella , Crozatier Museum , Land of Giants , and our many castles . Find all our indoor activities in the Velay region here.
