Vertaizon (French pronunciation: [vɛʁtɛzɔ̃]; Occitan: Vartaizon) is a commune of the department of Puy-de-Dôme in the region Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.

[3] Vertaizon is built on a hill giving a view on the Limagne and Pont-du-Château from its summit, where is situated the ancienne église ("the Ancient church") and the wall from the former castle (destroyed on the orders of Cardinal de Richelieu during the 17th century).

This event takes place every year at the beginning of September in the field near the Castle of Chignat.

In 1195, the lordship of Vertaizon belonged to the troubadour Pons de Chapteuil, who was eventually attacked by bishop Robert de Clermont, at war with his brother the count Guy II d'Auvergne, a close friend of the lord of the city.

Eight shops were identified in 2014 : one grocery store, three bakers, one library-newspaper seller, one watchmaker-jeweler and two florists.
