Description

More friendly than a hotel, L’Ormet Bed and Breakfast is an ideal starting point for walks and hikes in the contryside (you can plan your route from maps available at L’Ormet).

The village of Valignat with its small 11th century church and a surprising agricultural museum is only 15 minutes away on foot as is the village of Veauce with its castle from the middle ages, its beautiful roman church in the occitan style and the surrounding forest.

The ancient village of Charroux with its picturesque cobbled streets is 12 km away and the Gorges of the Sioule river start just outside Ebreuil 7 km away.

At Chantelle (15 km), under the old abbey, the mysterious Gorges of the river Bouble, cool and refreshing even in mid-summer. Vichy, the famous spa town, with its racecourse, is a 35 minute drive away ; the old town centre of Clermont-Ferrand built in volcanic stone and the famous chain of volcanoes including the Puy-de-Dôme are less than an hour by car.

And this is just a sample of the attractions of this region!

So we hope to see you soon and feel sure that you will fall in love with the area and come back again and again.
