Distrakart

In Saint-Paulien, in the Velay, Distrakart deploys its outdoor track at the heart of the Haute-Loire, 20 minutes from Le Puy-en-Velay. The site benefits from a volcanic setting characteristic of the region : volcanic plugs, basalt plateaus, the first Massif Central reliefs. It's an address valued by Le Puy residents heading out with friends and by holidaymakers discovering Auvergne's volcanic landscapes.

The open-air layout offers a varied course in the mineral setting typical of the Velay. Conditions shift with continental altitude weather : faster and drier in summer, more demanding on rainy days or first late-season frosts. Several kart engine sizes are available depending on driver level, from entry-level models for younger drivers to punchier versions for regulars chasing timed sessions. The site stays accessible for family initiation runs and regularly hosts birthday parties, stag and hen parties, and corporate seminars from the Le Puy basin.

Saint-Paulien is 20 minutes from Le Puy-en-Velay, an hour from Saint-Étienne, and 1h30 from Clermont-Ferrand. The region offers plenty to extend the visit: the episcopal city of Le Puy-en-Velay and its Saint-Michel d'Aiguilhe rock, the Notre-Dame de France statue, AOP Le Puy green lentils, the Allier gorges, or a detour to the Auvergne volcanoes (regional park). A solid option for holidaymakers combining karting with volcanological exploration in the Haute-Loire.
