Beautiful picnic area in the middle of the greenery.

Small village in the Auvergne with beautiful old houses in typical French style.

Less than a century ago, every commune in France erected a monument in honor of the soldiers who fell for France during the World War from 1914 to 1918, whose armistice is celebrated on November 11. The municipality of Montel has not deviated from the rule, the monument to the dead erects its cenotaph on the square opposite the church, surmounted by a statue of a soldier carrying high the laurel of peace.

Charming inn with a very pleasant welcome. Very good kitchen with very good quality products and affordable.

Montel-de-Gelat is governed from here, it is located at an altitude of 700 m. with a territory of 2,502 hectares and a population of 422 in 2020. Montel-de-Gelat, located on a plateau between the Cher and Sioulet, is a region with vast ponds. This area used to be heavily populated in Gallo-Roman times.

According to tradition, the church was built by Guillaume Aubert, lord of Montel-de-Gélat, at the request of his brother, who died in 1362. This 14th-century building consists of a nave without aisles, a three-sided choir and two side chapels from the 15th century forming a false transept. The most constructed element is the main portal with a series of arcades falling on small columns with capitals composed of several heads and floral motifs. The bell tower was added in modern times.

These risers are widely used by the local fishermen. Please note that you need a permit to fish here.

The Auvergne is best known for its fantastic nature, we are here in the Combrailles, an area west of Clermont-Ferrand and located between impressive landscapes. Hilly and dotted with lakes of all sizes and with a lot of agriculture.
