From Gallic antiquity to the Hospitallers (who had a commandery here) including the town's past as papermakers: Ambert, in the heart of Livradois-Forez, is a magnificent town steeped in history.

The Saint-Jean church is a catholic church in Ambert. It was built between 1471 and 1518. It is classified as a historical monument.

This pretty little town of barely 100 inhabitants is located on the watershed line of the Arzon basin. The town has a stopover lodge and an inn to accommodate travellers. Don't miss a stop to see its church and chapel.

The abbey of La Chaise-Dieu is a former Benedictine abbey. It is a jewel of southern Gothic. Located in the village of La Chaise-Dieu, it was built during the 11th century.

The village of La Chaise-Dieu is nestled on a granite promontory, more than 1000 meters above sea level. Saint-Robert Abbey and its Sacred Music Festival are worth the detour.

The "La Poule Rouge" and "L'Ane Bleu" paths are green corridors between the Masse district and the Ribbe bridge.

Issandolanges is an atypical place: the first habitats date back to the Merovingian era, until it became a real village, but the site was abandoned quite recently since its last inhabitant left it in 1924.

A must see with a beautiful view when arriving in the village.
