With the patronage of "John the Baptist", this parish has chosen a saint who is considered a forerunner of Jesus Christ. In Christian theology, he is the voice of the voice in the desert prophesied in the Old Testament book of Isaiah: "A voice calls out: In the desert prepare the way for the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God!" (Luther Bible). John is the son of Zechariah and Elizabeth, who was visited by the Mother of God Mary when she learned from the Archangel Gabriel that she herself was to give birth to Jesus Christ, and her - until then childless - relative was still pregnant in old age. The feast day of Saint Jean Baptist in the calendar of saints is June 24th.

From the Via Flavine, you will enjoy a breathtaking view of the Corboeuf ravine, where the wild beauty of the landscape is offered to you. You will notice the natural relief of the region, the contrast between the eroded rock formations and the surrounding greenery.

It is a road bridge but not without its charm. From here, you enjoy breathtaking views of the Loire and the surrounding hills.

In Vorey flows the Arzon. This charming village of Velay in the Haute-Loire department has a multimedia room on the town hall square with more than 200 seats. It is dedicated to culture and shows. On the program at L’Embarcadère: plays, conferences and cinema. Who is talking about a cultural desert here? A good example of promoting culture in the countryside.

In Retournac, the stone bridge that spans the Loire is called the Human Rights Bridge. Built in stone and on a model of lowered arches, the bridge and its sidewalks offer walkers pleasant views of the river and the mountains which dominate it.

The Ance is a direct tributary of the Loire. Taking its source in the Forez mountains at some 1,400 meters above sea level, it flows into the "wildest river in Europe" after a 77 kilometer run. Here, the Ance is bordered by the GR 3 path, famous for following the thread of the Loire.
