Basilica with remarkable frescoes and a colossal statue of St. Joseph, located at the gates of Le Puy, to visit Espaly.

Located at the gates of Le Puy, the Basilica of Saint Joseph of Good Hope was completed in 1918. The colossal statue of Saint Joseph, 22.40 m high, was built in 1910. It took four years to complete and in 1961 it was awarded the golden diadem on behalf of Pope John XIII. The basilica is decorated with frescoes, and above the altar with a tapestry representing the life of Joseph. At the foot of the statue, a terrace allows a view on the whole Ponot basin, and on, among others, the organs of Espaly.

Bijna iedereen bezoekt in Puy-en-Velay de kathedraal, het Mariabeeld en de kapel op de roche, maar deze mag je niet overslaan. Ook op hoogte staat dit prachtige beeld en kapel van st Joseph. Minder klimmen dan in het oude centrum, en voordat je de kapel ingaat of daarna kan je een frisje drinken of een ijsje eten en zitten op een bankje. De dames van het winkeltje zijn op leeftijd maar enorm vriendelijk en lief.
Parkeren kan gratis in de buurt en met een beetje geluk pal voor de trappen bij de ingang.
