TOWN PRESENTATION

Formerly, any means of communication not connected to Le Puy and Mount Mézenc. Two travelers to the mountain, followed the course of a stream bearing no name. Upon reaching the junction with another river, they heard a noise like that produced the bells this time, newly invented. Shocked, the two travelers stopped for a moment and saw behind some thick trees a waterfall. One passenger said to his companion: "Do you hear the water sounds!". That is, according to tradition and legend, the origin of the name Laussonne who was first given to the river and the village built on its banks.
