Designated one of France's Most Beautiful Villages, the hilltop medieval village of Montpeyroux is a lovely place to wander around. Enter the village through the fortified gate and admire the lovely stone houses built around the foot of the high medieval keep.
The top of this crenellated tower, accessible from May to September, offers a fantastic view over Allier valley and the Chaîne des Puys and Massif du Sancy mountains.
