In the Allier, between the Loire Valley and Burgundy, only 2h30 south of Paris, the neighbourhood of Moulins – the land of the Bourbons – is ideal for a relaxing holiday or weekend where you can enjoy cultural sightseeing and walks in the fresh air.

Discover the rich architectural heritage of the cradle of the Bourbon dynasty, in Moulins and Souvigny. Close nearby, secluded paths and tranquil by-roads lead you towards chateaux and villages, across woods and valleys. Stop to eat at a country inn to feast on Charolais beef, Saint-Pourçain wines and a variety of other top quality local products that relate the rich past of this land.
