Small, pretty town located on a steep hill. Lots of small shops and restaurants, here you can find almost everything you need.

Today attached to Murat, Chastel-sur-Murat, which was a former oppidum, had a castle backing onto the church in the Middle Ages.

The Lac du Pêcher is an artificial body of water at altitude (1142m), even if it itself comes from a peat bog. Its history is therefore rich. The place would have been cleared by the Templars and its name "Fishing" would have medieval origins which designates a body of water for fish farming. It is part of a classified natural area.

Pretty city ideal for cycling, mountain biking, or gravel... At the foot of the Cantal massif...

A wonderful site classified as a Sensitive Natural Area, on the edge of the Cézallier plateau, which calls for mediation and healing. Handi-fishing pontoon, thematic trail, and observatory for birds highlight this high altitude lake.

Here you can get off your bike and greet the friendly four-legged friends with the soft noses.

A pretty town located not far from Lioran and Pas Peyrol. A lot of restaurants and activities, served by the train. Ideal for a small family stay.

City very well located, not far from the main sites to visit, very well connected (trains, buses) and with many shops. A must in Cantal.
