Things to see and do Bourbon-L'Archambault

They make exceptional cosmetics and soaps entirely by hand and cold process, giving them an incredible softness, from organic products only. Labelled Nature et Progrès, the most demanding label for cosmetic products. Rewarding a bio-ecological and citizen approach. Essential raw material, olive oil and not palm oil like some handmade soaps. Then come coconut oil and shea butter. Online store.

And if instead of visiting the monuments of the corner, interesting but somewhat dehumanised, you went to meet the actors of the economic life of the Bourbon country? This is what these visits offer, particularly pleasant, and also free of charge. In 2012, to name but a few, you are invited to discover a workshop of the two virtuoso of Saint-Aubin-le-Monial, a farming charolais in bio in Louroux-Bourbonnais, a crystal tailor and a designer at Moulins, a Épuration treatment plant, a arborist climber in Bourbon, a workshop of cooperage at Château-sur-Allier, from market to Château. Vieure and Franchesse, or the heritage house in Veurdre. 

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. And learn many, about the history of the commune, its legends (Jonas and the Trois-Maures, Flamenca, Saint-Grelichon, among others), and its traditions.
