Hotel Le Regina

Hotel Le Regina is a three-star hotel set in the centre of Le Puy-en-Velay, within easy walking distance of the Trail du Saint-Jacques by UTMB start and finish areas for simple, stress-free race logistics.

Arriving here feels straightforward and welcoming. The traditional exterior fits naturally into the old town streets, and inside the atmosphere is quiet and relaxed. The reception and lounge areas are easy to move through, giving you space to organise kit, meet fellow runners and keep your routine running smoothly.

You’ll be staying on a room only basis, which gives you full flexibility around your race nutrition. There are plenty of bakeries, cafés and small restaurants just outside the door for early breakfasts, coffee stops and post-run meals. You can easily find simple, carb-focused options, fresh bread, fruit and light lunches without needing transport.

You are close to riverside paths and quiet streets for shakeout runs and gentle walks. Nearby parks and green spaces are ideal for stretching and mobility sessions, and the town has several wellness centres offering massage and recovery treatments within a short walk.

Rooms here are comfortable and well suited to race week. Expect supportive beds, good soundproofing, blackout curtains and private bathrooms with powerful showers. Many rooms offer views across the old town rooftops, giving you a calm space to switch off and focus on recovery.
