Auvergne is a green region with vast meadows, where animals still have lovely space to graze. Mass tourism is certainly not yet an issue and nature can still take its course undisturbed. This contributes to a large assortment of bird species, so bird watchers are sure to get their money's worth here. Rest and activity go hand in hand in Auvergne; cycling, hiking, horse riding, survival, everything is still possible here in unspoilt nature. There are also two golf courses nearby, one of which is about 20 km away in Neris-les-Bains. If you want to cool down, you can visit the swimming lake in Lapeyrouse, which has a playground and a small eating and drinking establishment.
Neris-les-Bains (approx. 15 km) is one of the spa resorts in our area. Here one can enjoy thermal baths and
massages and there are good restaurants as well as a casino.
The nearest larger city is Montlucon (20 km) and somewhat further away (within an hour) are 3 major cities:
Clermont-Ferrand, Moulins and Vichy.
- Rural
- Hilly
- Meadows and woodland
- In or near a village

Restaurants, food & wine
Auvergne is known for its 5 "aoc" cheeses: Foume d'ambert, Auvergne blue, Cantal, Salers and St Nectaire. These cheeses can be found on every weekly market and are definitely worth trying.
Saint-Pourcain and its surroundings is one of the oldest wine regions in France Here, red and rosé wines are produced (3/4 of production) as well as white wines, the latter enjoying an "AOC" qualification. In Saint-Pourcain, one can visit the Wine and Terroir Museum, housed in the bolder's house.
Two major (annual) events, pay tribute to the wines of Saint-Pourcain: the wine fair on the last weekend of February and the wine and food festival in the 2nd half of August.
In our area, hot meals are mainly consumed at lunchtime. Many restaurants focus on this and offer a meal between 12 noon and 2 pm.
