Lovers of regional gastronomy visiting Auvergne must be sure to stop by Les Burons de Salers, an old farm overlooking the Maronne Valley, three kilometres from the medieval town of Salers, on the Puy Mary road.
Two "burons", small stone buildings with flagstone roofs, typical of the Mounts of Cantal, have been identically rebuilt to house the Centres for Cheese, the Salers Cow and Salers Gentian. Guided tours of these attractions dedicated to Cantal's traditional specialities await you, along with tastings of Salers cheese and gentian root liqueur.
Don't miss a chance to enjoy the traditional "shepherd's meal" ("repas du buronnier"), available from May to September (booking required): enjoy a truffade lunch while admiring a uniquely stunning view of the Mounts of Cantal!
