Tourism / Discovery
Less than 40 km from Clermont-Ferrand, Saint-Nectaire, gateway to the Sancy massif, is an authentic Auvergne village with its Romanesque church. The church was built in the 12th century and is one of the finest examples of Romanesque architecture in the region.
Famous for its cheese of the same name, Saint-Nectaire reveals all its secrets through its farms, museums and village shops. The Maison du Fromage offers a guided tour of the 5 Auvergne PDO cheeses with a maturing cellar and tasting session.
A 4 km Sancy Tour takes you on a tour of the thousand year old heritage of Saint-Nectaire and offers beautiful views of the Sancy. Admire the dolmens and menhirs, including the Dolmen du Parc, listed as a Historic Monument.
Finally, the Grottes de Cornadore, former Roman thermal baths, and the Fontaines Pétrifiantes (Petrifying Fountains) will plunge you into the history of the thermal town and its 40 water sources.
