Gift ideas Puy-De-Dôme

The brand may have been around for thirty years, but it never ceases to surprise. The sales clerks, wearing gardener's aprons, welcome you in a well-designed ambience of sound and smell, as soothing as a walk in the woods. Among the high-precision astronomical equipment are unexpected objects worthy of the Lépine competition. The abundant camping section offers a host of clever, eco-friendly gadgets. In the children's department, every effort is made to awaken curiosity through playful, environmentally-friendly toys. Feng shui, well-being, beauty, relaxation... Discovery is part of every department. The boutique's secret: to build up its showcase with reference brands in their field. Opt for these manufacturers rather than "Nature & Découvertes" products, which are of lesser quality and sturdiness.

Original and colourful furnishings for this store of unusual, junk and creative items, to offer for every occasion of life, family holidays and gifts between friends.

If you're going to buy your cookies in Saint-Germain, you'll be surprised for the first time. You might expect to enter a business sales store! As a result, you find yourself in a very small boutique with a surprising decor with ice ceilings, light garlands, diverse objects. But very quickly another sensation will take the top, thanks first to the smell of fresh biscuits and to sight and envy in front of the tanks where you expect sacristains, cellulite, pucks, puff biscuits with or without candied fruit. You will also be very quickly conquered by the friendly de of the places custom with efficiency and good humour for decades. Here, the kind of house is not to cut a cookie in four to make the weight! You will taste before you buy, even if you know the product and you will have every chance to start again with some cookies for the road! This is what we have long loved Les Landon.

A top-of-the-range pocket knife, the Cellois shone in 2018 by winning the first Coutellia prize. It was a great spotlight on its creator, Nathalie Robin, co-manager of the workshop. Nathalie first learned from her husband Stéphane, who comes from a long line of cutlers, and who had won third place in the same competition in 2015. She then joined him in the arts and crafts adventure. Together, they have developed a range of sturdy knives, yet with a fine design reminiscent of Celtic lines, and where each piece is unique.

Tobacco, press, lottery, gifts, an ideal location just a few dozen metres from the abbey and its parking and near the avenue de la gare. This is a reason enough to explain that the Le Cortes drains a crowd of people, employees, high school students, or revenant from Clermont-Ferrand, tourists visiting Saint-Austremoine… not to mention the attendance of Saturday morning, the market day. But the real reasons for this success are undoubtedly the kindness and availability never of the owners… and for nearly fifteen years.

From the outside, one would expect a simple tobacconist's shop. However, the Savane has managed to forge a new identity. Obviously, it keeps its first cap and offers magazines and newspapers, but inside, several entrances are offered to the visitor. If you take the stairs up, you will find the tea room. Two floors down, the Savane becomes a fashion accessories store. Another change of scenery with the decoration-gift room. Selection for children, home accessories, cosmetics... It's hard to leave empty-handed!

Aurélie welcomes you in her shop-workshop just a step away from the church of Montpeyroux. Her specialty: enameled Volvic lava stone, previously cut by her. This stone has the particularity of being refractory, and thus of accumulating and progressively restoring heat. It is thus a first choice material for trivets. Aurélie also creates jewelry, house plaques and other decorative objects, all unique. Her universe, graphic and colorful, varies according to her inspirations. For a very local souvenir, try her collection with the effigy of the Puy-de-Dôme !

In his studio-laboratory, Didier Guyot offers a true journey back in time, from where you will return with... a photograph to remember! The artist is an ambrotypist photographer. A quick explanation: in the second half of the 19th century, photography was not digital. With the collodion process, the image was formed on a glass plate and chemically bleached at the time of development. You see the old portraits found in the attic trunks? They're the same! Your photos seem to come straight out of the 19th century, as if you were in a previous life. A kind of return to the future that we love and offer!
