For a less sporty outing, near your vacation rental, opt for the discovery trail of the Gorges de la Jordanne. On a 4 km round trip, the laid out route crosses gorges dug by water over the centuries in volcanic breaches. It is dotted with information terminals on the fauna and flora. A holiday to fill up on history between castles and charming villages Cantal is also a land of culture and history, rich in fortresses and medieval castles, here are some ideas for outings to do around your cottage. In Polminhac, the Château de Pesteils, listed as a Historic Monument, is a remarkable testimony to medieval times. Its 40-meter-high keep dominates the Cère valley. In summer, costumed entertainment for children, evening visits by candlelight or even historical skits are organised. During your visit, stop in the garden to admire the superb panorama of the Cantal mountains. Halfway between Aurillac and Salers, another castle awaits you in Tournemire. Perched on a rocky promontory, the Château d'Anjony is a small 15th century mountain fortress. Its impressive keep overlooks the Dora valley. During the guided tour, you will discover the richly furnished and decorated interiors. Extend the walk to the charming village of Tournemire, ranked among the Most Beautiful Villages in France. Above the Maronne valley, the village of Salers is perched 950 meters in the middle of the Cantal mountains. This Most Beautiful Village in France owes its reputation to its built, civil and religious heritage, made up of remains from the Middle Ages and beautiful Renaissance residences. You will be seduced by the mineral beauty that emerges from the volcanic stone and the slate roofs. Salers has given its name to a breed of cattle, to a famous cheese, to an aperitif (to be consumed in moderation) made from gentian roots and to a shortbread biscuit. Enough to compose a 100% Cantal meal! The old spa town of Vic-sur-Cère deserves a closer look. You will not remain insensitive to the picturesque charm of its old town. Among the elegant residences, the house of the Princes of Monaco reminds us that the city was once placed under the authority of the Grimaldi princes. The Maison des Eaux Minérales, a former bottling factory, evokes the thermal past of the city. Go to the square, have a drink and taste the water like the spa guests of yesteryear! 20 km from your rental is Aurillac, the prefecture of the department. The city is backed by the Cantal mountains and crossed by the Jordanne. Between the Museum of Art and Archeology, the Museum of Volcanoes, the pedestrian city center, the Abbey of Saint-Géraud, or even the Château Saint-Etienne, count a day there to visit the French capital of the umbrella! ## Home welcome on site if possible after giving at least 30 minutes' notice. ## Accommodation details - **Approval number**: 015MS000270 - **Surface**: 66 m² - **Equipped for babies**: Yes - **Beds**: 3 (1 x double bed and 2 x single bed) - **Owner's payment methods**: Transfert, Holiday vouchers, Cheque, and Cash - **Connect Holiday Vouchers**: Yes ## Rooms - **Independent rooms** - **Independent rooms** - **Bathroom / shower room** ## Equipment and services - **Interior equipment**: - Dishwasher - Fireplace - Washing Machine - coffee maker - fridge - fridge / freezer - microwave - **Outdoor equipment**: - BBQ grill - Terrace - garden - outdoor furniture - private entrance - **Parking lots**: - Private parking - **High-tech**: - DVD player - Hi-Fi - TV ## Nearby Nearby: Puy-Mary (site national) Aurillac, Jordanne gorges: the multi-activity centre nature (via ferrata, adventure...), Château D'anjony and Tournemire.
