The town of Le Puy is linked to Saint-Étienne by a railway, and the journey takes two hours. The town of Le Puy and the entire department of Haute-Loire would be delighted to welcome the illustrious President, who with his loyal hand so wisely guides the destiny of France…’ Henri Vinay (1821–1882) was a French lawyer and politician. He served as mayor of Le Puy-en-Velay, a member of the Haute-Loire General Council, and a member of the Society for Agriculture, Science, Arts and Commerce in Le Puy.
