Guided tours Rhône-Alpes

In Cantal, cycling on track would almost become an institution! Were you familiar with this steel device, down the kilometres of disused railway tracks? Well, let us know that the Pédalorail of the Great country of Salers reserves a national exclusivity: electrical assistance! And if the most reckless will categorically refuse to appeal, this innovation has the merit of making the activity accessible to the greatest number. In a region that is so hilly, it can also be pleasant!

At the departure of the tourist office, leave Sophie (reception hostess at the office) in the discovery of old Bourbon, which has made his reputation with tourists or curistes, but also des themselves: fortress of the dukes, mill, logis house, closed doors, beautiful houses.

After several years of work, the Saint-Maurice priory opened up to the visit, for the delight of history lovers. Indeed, the monument is very old, since it dates back to the very early Bourbons, well before the year. He was rescued for many years by a couple of Dutch, Aart and Will De Vries, who rebuilt it by respecting archival documents. The visits being free (only a few dates in summer), you would be wrong to deprive you of a small walk…
