Gift ideas Auvergne

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.

Slippers, slippers, slippers alone - or almost!

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!
