TOWN PRESENTATION

Located at the west end of Canton Pontgibaud, she sees the highway A89 take a small part of its territory.

Cisternes-la-Forêt is an agricultural town where farmers live mainly in the production of milk (goat cheese) and beef. Some artisans are also located.

Cisternes-la-Forêt commune was created around 1825 by the twinning of the Tanks with that of the forest. The town has three churches with their cemetery. That of the Forest, one of the Tanks and Lavergne, built subsequently to the faithful to practice their faith have more to walk a long way very difficult by the passage of fairly steep valleys. For the same reason, a school with playground and an apartment upstairs for the master (or mistress!), Was built volunteer - A to Z - and without any financial assistance. This achievement was manifested by the inhabitants of villages and the Vialles The Cheix, aided by those of Ballot and Ossebet (The Common Gouelle). Before this exemplary commitment, Academy of Clermont-Ferrand is his duty to provide a teacher upon completion. This school has been open continuously from 1938 to 1990.
