Office de Tourisme Val de Gray
March 17, 2026, Valay

Valay – Did you know? The town's name comes from the Celtic words "Val," meaning iron, and "Aid," meaning abundance. Pieces made in Valay were used in the construction of the Grande Galerie at the 1889 Universal Exhibition. It's even rumored that Valay cast iron flows within the Eiffel Tower!

The ruins of the Sainte-Cécile hermitage date back to the end of the 12th century. A former dependency of the Knights Templar, the site retains traces of its original architecture, such as ogival windows.

Valay boasts a distinctive architectural heritage: stone farms, old workshops, and wash houses. The town was also home to a major pottery factory in the 19th century, some of whose remains still exist.
