Saint Floret
Saint Floret is a commune of Puy-de-Dôme, which we visited on 25 December (2019).
The river, la Couze Pavin, originates from the Lac Pavin . Couze means surging river (
rivière torrentueuse) and this is indeed the case of this one, which makes a deafening noise and, although a small river, flows at great if not scary speed. It goes through Issoire before going into the Allier. The bridge hosts a virgin, as is the case also in Saurier, to protect it as per medieval customs. This one, Notre-Dame du Pont, is a XIIIth century polychrome, possibly a black virgin.
View from the médiéval bridge (de la Pède).
Notre Dame du Pont (with a devilish detail on the upper lip).
On our way to L'église du Chastel.
A stone cross on the way.
It's a good walk to the top.
There at last: le Chastel.
Views on the village (cf. top of page) as well as the Puys are however great ones.
Detail of the village's church.
Detail of the donjon.
The medieval tombs.
This on the left is actually an ossuary.
View of Saint Floret itself from its donjon.
