One of the most visited sites of the Cantal with an exceptional Renaissance heritage at an altitude of 950 meters located in Salers.

If the history of the city goes back to the Middle Ages, it accelerates when Henri II installs there the royal bailiwick of the High Mountains of Auvergne in 1550 (until the Revolution). The "gens de robe" built private mansions with Renaissance facades that you will discover along the streets, after having admired the house of the Bailiwick, place Tissandier-d'Escous. Salers also owes its prosperity to the wool, cheese and mule trade. The town has given its name to a breed of cow, the Salers, as well as to a cheese and a gentian-based liqueur.

Quite a big unspoilt medieval village with lots of local trade shops that are not overly expensive . Surrounded by open countryside with nice picnic areas where you can eat listening to the sound of cowbells chiming from the many local horned cows!

mérite le détour
Alors là vous avez tout un village en typique habitats auvergnats en façades de pierres volcaniques du plus bel effet, naturellement privilégier votre visite de bonne heure car ici c'est connu et que de monde! parkings payants en saison , seulement un seul de gratuit en bas de village. C'est vraiment superbe, de belles photos à prévoir, malheureusement comme toujours trop de commerces sur si peu de surface, certaines rues et places en sont truffées!!
