This charming village expanded around the monacal Benedictines' abbey, which was built by Robert de Turlande, founder of la Chaise-Dieu Abbey.

Favorite filming location, Lavaudieu hosted the crew of  " Rivières Pourpres 2 " during spring 2003.

A must :

• Discover the village along the "circuit découverte" (from Brioude topoguide)
• Saint-André church, the abbey lands (the last of roman cloister of Auvergne)
  A precious art gallery- 600 years of mural painting
• The "Musée des Arts et Traditions Populaire Haute-Loire" portrays every day life in a rural village at the beginning of the 19th century
• Every summer, the association" Vallis dei" (Lavaudieu's friends) organises events, concerts and the festival of "Les Valdéennes".
