Attractions

Le Puy is the historic center of the French lace industry; you'll find lace shops on every block. But to be assured of handmade authenticity, look for the words DENTELLE DU PUY. Under a 1931 local government ordinance, the display of this mark is a privilege reserved for the real thing. The best selections of local lace are at Spécialités du Velay, 1 bd. St-Louis (tel. 04-71-09-09-34); Valois Dentelles, 28 place du Plot (tel. 04-71-09-60-69); and Aux Souvenirs du Puy, 60 rue Raphaël (tel. 04-71-05-76-71).
