Vals-près-le-Puy is a commune in the Haute-Loire department in south-central France.
Its inhabitants are known as Valladiers.
It is twinned with Aielo de Malferit (Spain).
The town is located in the valley of the river Dolaizon. It forms the South-West border of Le Puy-en-Velay and its highest point is Mount Ronzon (850 m).
Le Puy became part of the province of Velay in 1789.
Chibottes were circular or semi-circular stone huts built between the 17th century and the 19th century as shelters (especially for wine growers).
