Located in central France, at the entrance to the "Parc Naturel Régional des Volcans d'Auvergne", the village of Salers overlooks the valleys of the Aspre, Rat and Maronne rivers. With its turreted houses, belfry and ramparts, Salers will transport you back to the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. A village with a rich architectural and historical heritage, Salers welcomes you to discover its many attractions. The village is home to no fewer than four renowned local products or specialities that bear its name! The proud red Salers cows, with their lyre-shaped horns, are renowned for the quality of their meat and milk. The latter is also the source of the tasty Salers PDO, a raw-milk cheese made on the farms or burons (mountain chalets). For a sweet treat, try the "Carré de Salers", a pure butter shortbread biscuit whose name was registered in the 19th century and which is still produced in the village according to a secret recipe. Finally, don't miss the famous Salers aperitif with its bittersweet flavour made from gentian roots, a wild plant found in abundance in the Puy Mary mountain region.
