You'll love strolling along and discovering new flavours. The shopkeepers are happy to let you taste their products and give you valuable advice.

Founded by two friends in professional reconversion, Mélody Humbert and Maxime Bejot, who have become self-taught brewers, the microbrewery has already made a good place for itself on the shelves already full of beers from Auvergne. Blonde, IPA, Stout, Pale Ale, and even some original and ephemeral productions, are available in organic stores, in some bars and restaurants, on markets, but also in direct sales. To distinguish the brand, follow the origami bird that decorates the bottles! Inside, you will find only the essential ingredients for making a beer, from organic farming. This true ethical choice gives an additional flavor.

The Maison Desprat has been associated with a passion for wine since 1885. Pierre Desprat, with his two daughters Léa and Lucie, continues the family adventure and makes it a point of honour to advise and help people discover the wines of the Auvergne volcanic soil. To do this, a wide range of wines is offered in his shop. Alongside the local beverages, we find all the French and foreign wine regions. Beer, spirits and local aperitifs are also presented. A corner dedicated to delicatessen completes the offer.

At Cornets de Murat, it is logical to find the small horn-shaped cookie, a specialty of the city. And for the real gourmets, it is possible to taste it on the spot with the traditional chantilly. But Jean-Roc and Emma, the new owners, will also make you "fall in love" with their regularly updated range of cakes. The young pastry chef, a musician by the way, likes to constantly innovate. Don't hesitate to ask for, and even order, the pistachio millefeuille, the Muratais with its hazelnut-almond sponge or the Royal praline-chocolate.

Hélène Le Loup offers you a wide range of cooked dishes, flavoured Salers beef pâtés and rillettes. But above all, don't miss the specialities that have made her a success: the minced beef rolls with Auvergne blue cheese or Cantal, the Salers beef stews with chestnuts or with raisins and orange peel, which won her a "bronze goudot" at the gastronomic competition of the "Européennes du goût" in Aurillac. You will also find a lot of products from Cantal. Yummy!

After weeks of work, this pastry shop/tea room has finally reopened for our greatest happiness.

A cellar of... cheeses ! At the Cave de Salers, we explain to you all the secrets of a good cheese, the one that a few producers have been making for centuries. The worthy heirs of the buronniers of yesteryear ripen more than a thousand cheeses here. They watch over them so that, during 3 to 18 months, the aromas develop under the golden rind. A visit that will whet your appetite with a tasting of 3 Salers cheeses on the slate. Try to find the aromas! And if you want to try to make an aligot at home, don't hesitate to ask them for advice!

Founded in 1956, the Saint-Bonnet-de-Salers dairy cooperative has deep roots in the region. So much so that in 2000, after only a few years of marriage, the cooperative's producer-members opted to regain their independence from a regional dairy group. Here, we stand up for raw-milk Cantal and for Cantal made exclusively from Salers cow's milk. To these values we add quality, the fruit of a long process of production and, above all, maturing of each cheese.

The Cambon butcher shop is one of the best addresses in Polminhac. The same family has been working there since the 1960s. The butcher's shop gives pride of place to Salers meat. The animals are directly bought in the farms of the sector. The delicatessen is a delight! But the Cambon house is famous in all France for its tripoux. The recipe has changed a little to include pork and lamb bellies. The cooking is done during a whole night.

The 360 Brewery is open to visitors and offers an insight into the world of brewing and the Cantalien region. The visitor is invited to go down into the production area to understand how beer is born. The visit is accompanied by a tasting. Here, the desire is to defend a quality beer and the values of the Cantalien region. The choice is therefore made to use cereals from the Auvergne and water gushing from ancient volcanoes. The range extends from white, blond or amber beers to red or triple brown beers. With moderation !

David works on the family estate to offer a fine range of wines. For tasting, he offers Volcanik, a 100% Gamay red, with notes of Morello cherry and a subtle peppery finish, made from century-old vines grown on basalt soil. He also produces red, white and rosé cuvées called Les Fesses, a funny name that simply comes from the locality of the same name where the grapes grow. A prestige cuvée, aged in oak barrels, is also available. You're sure to find something to please your guests!

Since 2008, Vincent, chocolatier, has been working in his workshop next to the store, always with the desire to surprise his customers.
