  • My last name is PUY!!

  • @PuyARUS I am not a native French speaker so I am not sure of the 'exact' meaning of Puy- but basically it seems to be a rounded volcano. The town of Le Puy en Velay is basically set in an old volcanic crater and you climb up out of it when you do the walk I did. There are other places in the region with "puy' in the name, eg Puy-de-Dome.

  • au Puy* ^^ Viens quand tu veux et passe boir un coup a la maison :p

  • Merci.Mais il ne sera pas très bientôt. Peut-être dans deux ou trois ans !
