Allier

A short break in Charroux in the Bourbonnais, just 30 kilometres west of Vichy and 20 kilometres south of Saint-Pourçain-sur-Sioule, promises great charm and difference ! The village is famous for its mustard that is used by several great chefs and exported around the world, but this former fortified village and centre of trade has other things to show off too.

Themes

• Castles and ramparts : The ramparts, porte d’Orient and porte d’Occident East and West Gates (Tour de l’Horloge)
• Gastronomy :
• Unusual sights : La Cour des Dames, a small inner courtyard in the centre of the village, Church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste with its truncated spire.
