The best fashion and gift stores Saint-Flour

Located in the upper town, near the square in front of St. Peter's Cathedral, La Cité du vent bookshop offers a fine selection of books to discover in a serene atmosphere.

It is one of the too few independent bookshops in Cantal, where you feel at home and where you can (re)discover classical or contemporary writers at your ease.

The literature section is full of essentials, from Olivier Adam to Zola, and you can also stroll among the new items placed on a cabinetmaker's piece of furniture, or browse through the history or regionalism sections to satisfy your curiosity.

The bookseller, discreet, will probably invite you to continue your visit at the back of the bookshop, in a small cosy niche where it hosts exhibitions of photographs or paintings according to her favourites. A large youth and comic strip section completes this ensemble, which is very pleasant to the eye and the ear, because the layout of the space of this bookstore is also a promising whisper: it is the breeze of the literary adventure that can be heard there!

In this bouquinerie you will find new and used books, regional heritage magazines, postcards, products and objects from here and elsewhere. You can enjoy tea and coffee without reading anything. Buy, cram, sip, dreaming, babbling or any other activities of this type. It is a place of meeting and exchange around literary culture, where regularly speakers bring a new theme to exciting moments.

Fromagerie de Saint-Flour is part of Fromageries Occitanes, which operates in the Massif Central and the Pyrenees. One of the town's biggest employers, the Saint-Flour plant produces only blue-veined cheeses, i.e., blue cheeses such as the AOP fourme d'Ambert or its house specialty, the creamy bleu de Saint-Flour. All these products, as well as the company's full range of cheeses, can be found on site in the factory store.
