The pictures don't do it justice, it is a truly unique form of art combing the use of mother nature, technique and patience.

Very interesting site. However there are too many people in each tour and the explanations take too much time.

Interesting to see how sculptures were made through petrifying. Not to mention this has been done for over 200 years through 7 generations! Explanation was clear and available in booklet form in English, Dutch, German, etc. Be aware the first film is only in French and theres not much explanation about it in the multilingual booklet. Overal, learned a lot from this visit. 10/10 would recommend this unique place.

Amazing place fot.an amazing art/technology I never knee existed. Check the opening hours to make sure you have enough time to take the entire site.

We did not expect much from the petrifying fountains of Saint-Nectaire and we have been stunned by the tour. The visit is relatively quick but you can spend time at your pace to admire the caves and the fountains. It was very informative and we learnt a lot about the techniques used to create the art work. It could be a pricey and expect to buy something at the end in the gift soft. Recommended for everyone

A really interesting visit with a lot of information in English and the multi lingual guide answered all our questions. Fascinating and unique; worth every cent!

I need to say that we were welcomed with very inappropiate behaviors towards our children. The set up is appreciable and it is obvious that lots of hard work has been put into the building, though the exhibition is very much about art. The productions are amazing but I was more about the caves themselves and geological formation which are a very minor part of the visit, despite the advertisement.

Nice staff, good atmosphere, reasonably food at very fair prices. Casino have good selection of gaming machines and a nice blackjack table

(Translated by Google) For a town like St Nectaire it is very good to have a casino Little background music Visit at the beginning of the afternoon, calm atmosphere for a Friday It feels like a casino from another era, but ultimately it doesn't bother me. (Original) Pour une commune comme st nectaire c est très bien d avoir un casino Petite musique de fond Visite en début d après midi ambiance calme pour un vendredi On a l impression d être dans un casino d une autre époque mais en fin de compte ça ne me dérange pas

(Translated by Google) Small casino with only about twenty machines, great atmosphere with a little music in the background. Parking close to the entrance; it's a shame there's no disabled access and there are stairs. The staff is very friendly. (Original) Petit casino avec seulement une vingtaine de machines, ambiance top avec une petite musique en fond Parking proche de l’entrée dommage qu’il n’y ait pas d’accès PMR et que ce soit des escaliers. Le personnel est très souriant

(Translated by Google) Countryside casino and nice place to spend a relaxing time. The welcome was up to par. However, some machines require a little maintenance because the interior lighting is missing. There weren't many people there, which gave us the opportunity to see all the machines and try them out. For a village like St. Nectaire, it's perfect! (Original) Casino de campagne et endroit sympa pour passer un moment de détente. L accueil était à la hauteur. Cependant certaines machines nécessitent un peu de maintenance car il manque de l éclairage à l intérieur de la machine. Il n y avait pas grand monde ce qui donne l occasion de voir toutes les machines et de les essayer. Pour un village comme st nectaire c est parfait !

(Translated by Google) Quiet casino with few machines but pleasant to spend the afternoon. No loyalty card but self-service coffee. (Original) Casino au calme avec peu de machines mais agréable pour passer l après midi.Pas de carte de fidélité mais café en libre service.

(Translated by Google) We came for a mussels and fries evening with 80s music. We made a reservation for 8:30 p.m. There was no atmosphere; the couple in charge of entertainment only played soft music on their sound system. I hope the service was free for the casino. As for the restaurant, we waited 45 minutes before being served after our complaint. The staff was very nice but overwhelmed because only two people were there to serve. The mussels weren't cooked. Only cooked in their own water. Not a shallot, an onion, aromatic herbs, or even a little white wine. They were bland, and the mussels, which weren't in their own juices, were dry. It was a real shame because the teaspoon of ratatouille was well seasoned. So they do have herbs in the kitchen. The plate of fries was sparse. In the end, for a meal costing 14 euros, not including drinks, and normally with entertainment, you could be really disappointed 😞. Service at 9:30 p.m., and by 10:15 p.m. we were home. (Original) Nous sommes venus pour une soirée moules frites avec animation musicale des années 80. Réservation faite pour 20h30. Zéro ambiance, le couple chargé de l'animation passait seulement des morceaux en sourdine sur leur sono. J'espère que la prestation était gratuite pour le casino. Pour le restaurant, nous avons attendu 45 minutes avant d'être servi après notre réclamation. Le personnel était très gentil mais débordé car seulement 2 pour le service. Les moules n'étaient pas cuisinées. Seulement cuitent dans leur eau. Pas une échalote ou un oignon ou des herbes aromatiques ni même un peu de vin blanc. Fade et les moules qui n'étaient pas dans leur jus étaient sèches. Vraiment dommage parce ce que la petite cuillère de ratatouille était bien assaisonné. Donc ils ont des aromates en cuisine. L'assiette des frites était clairsemée. Au final pour un plat à 14 euros hors boisson et avec normalement une animation, on peut être vraiment déçu 😞. Service à 21h30, et à 22h 15 on était rentré.

(Translated by Google) Really very nice example of a dolmen, situated in a moderately maintained park. At the beginning of Saint Nectaire take the road up to the church. Just before you get to the top turn right at a very small sign "dolmen". A very small road then leads to the park, where there is good parking space. You will see the dolmen immediately. (Original) Echt heel mooi voorbeeld van een dolmen, gelegen in een matig onderhouden park. Aan het begin van Saint Nectaire de weg naar boven naar de kerk nemen. Vlak voor je boven komt rechts afslaan bij een heel klein bordje "dolmen". Een heel klein weggetje leidt vervolgens naar het park, waar goede parkeerruimte is. Je ziet de dolmen dan onmiddellijk.

(Translated by Google) Children's games are not maintained The tennis court also the picnic tables are very high The place is good but considerably in maintenance (Original) Les jeux enfants ne sont pas entretenus Le terrain de tennis également les tables de pique nique sont très hautes Le lieu est bien mais considérablement d'entretien

(Translated by Google) A pretty little dolmen, but it is above all the setting in which it is located which is magnificent. A perfect little digestive stroll after a truffade. (Original) Un petit dolmen joli, mais c'est surtout l'écrin dans lequel il se situe qui est magnifique. Une petite balade digestive parfaite après une truffade.

(Translated by Google) We discovered this little park before heading to the petrifying fountains. We parked there, and a picnic table was ten minutes from the fountains. The children loved the little dolmen; there's also a playground. (Original) On a découvert ce petit parc avant d'aller aux fontaines petrifiantes. On s y est garé, table de pic nique a dix minutes des fontaines. Le petit dolmen a fait la joie des enfants, il y a un parc a jeux aussi

(Translated by Google) Small park with games for children and a walk that can take you all the way down to the dolmen! Nice to do. (Original) Petit parc avec jeu pour enfants et promenade qui peut vous amenez jusqu'en bas et bien le dolmen ! Sympa à faire.

(Translated by Google) Warning ⚠️ It's not practical at all in an all-terrain stroller! We experienced it this morning with our 1-month-old and 16-day-old baby. Initially it's accessible (road) but there are two sections (stony forest path++ and meadow with tall grass) which are absolutely not passable. My partner had to carry the stroller in his arms for 800m and I had to carry the baby in my arms. For that I'm only giving 2 stars because it's unacceptable to say that it's passable! Too bad because the dolmen is pretty and the walk too but I really didn't appreciate that we could emphasize the fact that it's passable when it's NOT. (Original) Attention ⚠️ Ce n'est pas pratique du tout en poussette tout terrain! Nous en avons fait l'expérience ce matin avec notre bébé de 1 mois et 16J. Au départ c'est accessible (route) mais il y a deux passages (chemin en forêt caillouteux++ et prairie avec herbes hautes) qui ne sont absolument pas carrossable. Mon conjoint a du porter la poussette à bras sur 800m et moi le bébé à bras. Pour cela je met que 2 étoile car c'est inadmissible de dire que c'est carrossable! Dommage car le dolmen est joli et la promenade aussi mais je n'ai vraiment pas apprécié qu'on puisse mettre en avant le fait que c'est carrossable alors que NON.

(Translated by Google) Incredibly old stone tomb, exciting and mystical. (Original) Wahnsinnig altes Steingrab, ausregend und mystisch.

Cosy atmosphere and very good food. Come in early or don’t forget to book a table! If you have food allergies or restriction, feel free to tell the staff they have a solution for you! We loved the omelette and the blueberry pie

Pleasant, friendly restaurant with a good Auvergne menu. Good atmosphere with outdoor dining in summer.

This gotta be the first restaurant in France I haven’t really enjoyed. Plates are big, so you do get a lot of food for your buck, but I didn’t necessarily enjoyed the food unfortunately

Great option for dinner. Good quality of the meals with a kind and rapid service. Price ok according to the quality.

A great place to sample local cuisine from Auvergne, including local cheeses and ham in a salad.

Excellent service and great food, highly recommended (+ great music playing). Thank you

Very good place to eat for some great local food ! I recommend the truffade and tarte aux mirtilles (blueberry pie)

Probably the best place in the village for snacks and refreshments. Great service by Elisabeth and all the cakes and pastries are freshly baked by Stephanie. Back garden terrace is great in the sunshine, and it is always a nice relaxing venue for friends and family to have a break. In winter, there is a warm, cozy room with antique posters and a wood burner. So it is a lovely place to escape the cold weather too.

This is a hidden gem. Nice little garden outside by the little mountain stream. Great staff, great food, and amazing puddings.

Good food, good service. Very accommodating!

Excellent restaurant

(Translated by Google) An extremely pleasant moment near a pretty park in St Nectaire. A very warm welcome, a cuisine that enhances all the products of the region and pastries that tempt you from the sidewalk. Big crush on the exceptional fresh vegetable pie!! We loved it so much that even without tasting, we took away one of the blue walnut cakes/brioches that caught our eye! Result: we ate very well even after the restaurant!! In summary: go for it without hesitation!! (Original) Un moment extrêmement agréable à proximité d'un joli parc à St Nectaire. Un accueil très chaleureux, une cuisine qui sublime tous les produits de la région et des pâtisseries qui donnent envie depuis le trottoir. Gros coup de cœur pour la tourte aux légumes frais exceptionnelle !! On a tellement aimé que même sans goûter, on a pris à emporter un des cakes/brioches au bleu noix qui nous faisait de l'œil ! Résultat : on a très bien mangé même après le restaurant !! En résumé : allez-y sans hésiter !!

(Translated by Google) We ate well: St Nectaire pie, Puy lentils and gnocchi. The service was average (glass of lemonade spilled by the waitress, no offer of a napkin to dry off) and the staff seemed overwhelmed: 15 minutes to pay. (Original) On a bien mangé: tourte au St Nectaire, lentillesdu Puy et Gnocchis. . Le service était moyen (verre de limonade renversee par la serveuse, pas de propositions de serviette pour pouvoir s essuyer) et l équipe semblait débordée: 15 minutes pour pouvoir payer.

(Translated by Google) Nothing to complain about. The concept of this place allows for a flexibility not found in a traditional restaurant. The negative reviews can only represent people who are always dissatisfied and for whom nothing is better than home. (Original) Rien à redire. Le concept de cet endroit permet une souplesse qu’on ne trouve pas dans un restaurant traditionnel. Les avis négatifs ne peuvent représenter que des personnes toujours insatisfaites pour qui rien n’est mieux que chez eux.

The traditional dishes of the region like the Saint Nectaire au four and the truffade were good but the side dishes were not very elaborated (especially the salad). The service was good and fast.

A beautiful little restaurant with excellent food. Well worth the trip to visit, make it a destination for lunch or dinner.

Amazing pizzas served here! Friendly staff highly recommended!

Food was OK, the row the chef had with the waitress... Who then stormed off... Wasn't great!

Classical resto with old recipe 👍

(Translated by Google) This pizzeria in Saint Nectaire was a wonderful surprise 🤩. The pizza dough was crispy without being dry, light, and the ingredients were high-quality. And the staff was also incredibly welcoming 😊!! We had a wonderful time there; the atmosphere was pleasant and relaxed 👍. What more can I say 🤩🤩…. (Original) Une superbe surprise cette pizzeria à Saint Nectaire 🤩. La pâte à pizza était croustillante sans être seiche et légère et ingrédients de qualité. Et aussi l’accueil de l’équipe au top 😊 !! Nous y avons passé un agréable moment l’ambiance était agréable et décontracté 👍. Que dire de plus 🤩🤩….

(Translated by Google) Very good address. The tagliatelle with Auvergne blue cheese was excellent, the little gourmet coffee ☕️ very nice to end the meal. And the service was friendly. I recommend it without hesitation. (Original) Très bonne adresse. Les tagliatelles au bleu d Auvergne étaient excellentes, le petit café ☕️ gourmand très sympa pour clore le repas. Et le service sympa. Je recommande sans problème.

A classic turn off experience: no communication (do they want you to leave or actually have dinner, since it is called a restaurant) rudeness(Non, no service at the terrace, except for ALL other tables), lazyness (ditching the cutlery at the table, so arrange it yourself). Conclusion: If you need to channel your anger do go there otherwise be sure to reserve at the restaurant accros the street.

Super!!!!

Excellent

(Translated by Google) Small, very friendly restaurant, the hostess is kind and attentive. Dinner by the fireplace, we had a great evening. Pencils available to help children pass the time (Original) Petit restaurant très convivial, l'hôtesse est bienveillante et attentionné. Dîner près de la cheminée, nous avons passé une bonne soirée. Crayons disponibles pour faire passer le temps aux enfants

(Translated by Google) Very good restaurant. Fast service. Pleasant staff. Very good, we will come back. I recommend it 😏 (Original) Très bon restaurant.. service rapide. Personne agréable.. très bon on y reviendra. Je conseille 😏

(Original) Repas très agréable, patrons sympathique et service ultra rapide 🙏🏼 Le repas était super et notre chienne à été super bien accueillie Merci encore pour cette expérience

(Translated by Google) It's a shame we couldn't try this establishment. We made a reservation the day before for Sunday lunch, and we left because the receptionist insisted the reservation was for Monday and that she had a group of 30. Too bad, we'll spend our money elsewhere. (Original) Bien dommage que nous ne puissions pas essayer cet établissement. Réservation prise la veille pour le dimanche midi et nous sommes repartis car la personne a l'accueil nous a soutenu que la réservation était pour le lundi et qu'elle avait un groupe de 30. Tant pis, on dépensera notre argent ailleurs.

Wonderful little grottos with old roman-time bath relics. The steps are slippery and very narrow so not recommended if you have issues walking. The guide is very knowledgeable and will answer any questions you have.

Hardly 100m long trip. Guided tour only. In french only. About 30 minutes. Not much to see. The highlights here are what other caves start with. If you have the chance try Grottes des Canalettes.

Nice cave, a bit short, language in french only

Excellent customer service!!!5 * going to guide,when we had accident with asthma attack,she was the kindest person!!!short but interesting trip.

A bit disappointing tbh. Small and tired looking. You get imprisoned at the end in the pokey shop for a while, while the guide tells you how long it takes to make the junk they sell.. a poor man's version of the things on sale at the Fontaines Petrifiantes down the road.

If you are in this area is worthy, but not worthy to do a trip to see the Grottes. They are small and they seem to had been a small Roman bath only. Not guide in English. They only speak in French. We got a paper in Spanish with the info to do the visit.

Boring as all hell. Just short 30 meter tunnel, followed by a room, accompanied by 40 minutes of French babbeling with the tour guide speaking not even a single word English. Do NOT go as a non-French person. Actually, just don't go at all.

Interesting place informing on how the local cheese is made. Pity it’s only in French.

Genial

Hum !!!

(Translated by Google) Slightly short visit for €22 for 2 adults and a child. We start with a film which is a little dated but well explained, then we pass into a very small reconstructed cellar to finish with 2 small cheese toasties. Impossible to taste the products in the store so we don't know what we buy! On the other hand, the lady who gave us the tour was very kind, attentive and with clear explanations. (Original) Visite un peu courte pour 22€ 2 adultes et un enfant. On commence par un film qui date un peu mais bien expliqué puis on passe dans une toute petite cave reconstituée pour finir avec 2 petit toasts de fromage. Impossible de goûter les produits dans la boutique donc on s'est pas ce qu'on achète! Par contre la dame qui nous a fait la visite était très gentille, à l'écoute et avec des explications claires.

(Translated by Google) Avoid!!! It's a tourist trap. A 10-minute video that can be found on the internet and a short visit to a fake cellar with some brief explanations about Saint Nectaire. The cost of the visit perhaps allows the shop on the ground floor to be more profitable, but it is of no interest since you can't see anything about the production of this cheese. In short, if you pass by, just move on. (Original) A fuir !!! C'est un attrape touristes. Une vidéo de 10 mn que l'on retrouve sur internet et une courte visite dans une fausse cave avec quelques explications sommaires sur le saint nectaire. Le coût de la visite permet peut-être à la boutique au rez de chaussée d'être plus rentable mais elle ne présente aucun intérêt puisqu'on ne voit rien sur la production de ce fromage. Bref, si vous passez devant, ne faites que passer votre chemin

(Translated by Google) Meh... tourist trap feeling. The tour starts with a movie, then we see a reconstructed cellar and end up eating two pieces of Saint Nectaire cheese. There are a lot of people, we are a little disappointed. (Original) Bof.. sensation d attrape touristes. La visite commence par un film, ensuite on voit une cave reconstituée pour finir par manger deux morceaux de saint nectaire. Il y a beaucoup de monde, nous sommes un peu déçus.

Nice church, used for events. Unfortunately not very peaceful inside due to many loud people.

Arrived 17.28 so almost 30 min after closing. The church is beautiful. Towering over a valley

Amazing church. I recommend to visit.

Dominating the small village of St-Nectaire-le-Haut in the Auvergne region of southern France, Saint-Nectaire Church dates from the 12th century. It contains a fine set of Romanesque capitals and a treasury of medieval art. Located on high ground and surrounded by lush forests, the stately church of Saint-Nectaire towers over the small village of St-Nectaire-le-Haut. Its situation is somewhat less attractive from close-up, as it is now surrounded by a small lawn and paved parking lot. The church is constructed of local trachyte stone in various shades of grey, arranged in attractive patterns. On the apse, the stone is cut into a fine inlaid pattern of stars inside circles. Similar decorations can be seen on each end of the transept. The church's highest point is the octagonal crossing tower, topped with a pyramid-shaped roof. This dates from the 19th century, as do the twin square towers on the west facade. From the east, there is a fine view of the flat "lantern" transept, the semicircular apse with inlaid stars, three radiating chapels, and an apsidal chapel on each transept arm. Overall, it is a striking and impressive sight. The interior is an attractive space with many details of interest. The nave is supported by round columns with carved capitals, some retaining traces of original paint. Among the subjects depicted on the capitals are the Temptation of Christ; Moses being saved from crocodile-infested water by Pharaoh's daugher; a donkey playing a lyre and a man riding a goat; and St. Baudime slaying a wild bear.

A very well-preserved example of an Auvergnat church, and unusual because it is a pure example of the unique style of Roman architecture in the region. Built in 1146, a feature is the large numbers of stone "chapiteaux" decorating the tops of the columns in the church

Not a fan of those modern looking churches but it's very cute to find this building in the middle of the mountains and we enjoyed it thoroughly.

Simple and beautiful!

Interesting place to visit and very tasty cheese. It’s possible to buy different local cheeses in the shop I recommend to wear warm clothes because inside is pretty cold

Absolutely amazing cheese. The tour was quite nice as well and we got to taste the cheese that they made there. The middle aged lady behind the counter at the store was very rude to us though. It seemed like she was only nice to the French customers.

Historical cave full of mystery and great place to learn how they make cheese inside the cave, the taste is so good. I love it, very recommended as a tourist site.

If you're found of history, of Saint-Nectaire cheese or even of -light- geology this museum will fulfill your expectations! The guides are nice and always ready to explain. the visit ends with rare 3D pictures of the region in the 19th century. A must-seen in the region. The shop has also very nice local products. And finally, the village itself is worth to see, in the middle of the mountains. I loved it!

Excellent visit. We will come back. Definitely recommend.

Im italian, today a english guide don't was there but i understand little. I enjoied the little story and see the caves

They sell subpar cheeses and the tour has cheesy pictures, avoid!

Warm welcome from the staff who graciously tried to meet our needs of eating outside on a hot day despite not booking a table. The food was good - the beef particularly - but not outstanding. The interest of the place lies inside the auberge with its walls and roof. And the Marc d'Auvergne after the meal ;)

(Translated by Google) We had lunch as a family during our vacation and enjoyed the experience. Room side: The setting is really nice. The waitresses are pleasant.

(Translated by Google) We came for lunch after visiting the Mystères de la Farge restaurant next door. Without a reservation, we had no problems even though there were already quite a few people there. The restaurant is really pleasant, the setting is very nice, and the decor is top-notch. The dining room service is very good; the waitress who served us was attentive without being overbearing. As for the food... Wow... A delight, we enjoyed ourselves, and despite our full stomachs, we let ourselves be tempted by the equally delicious dessert. I highly recommend this restaurant 👍🙂 (Original) Nous sommes venu un midi mangé après avoir visité les Mystères de la Farge juste à côté, sans aucune réservation nous n'avons pas eu de soucis même s'il y avait déjà pas mal de monde.

Nice restaurant right by the Church. Very good food. Despite the restaurant getting pretty crowded at lunch time, very friendly staff and good service.

Friendly service, although a little long. Very well executed regional menu.

Not allowed for a drink. Rude spoken to us and after ignored. Bad!!

Was very nice. We even got a demonstration in English, wich was very nice.

A very nice experience with the kids. Friendly staff and was able to get an informative tour in English. Good to see Kangaroos and Wallabies, just like at home in Aus!

Nice little Auvergne zoo for families with small children. Friendly staff with English-speaking option. You can stand right in between the wallaby's!

Really great little park, where you get to touch the coypu and feed the wallabies.

Cool small place to visit with children

(Translated by Google) This dolmen is actually a tumulus that was unknowingly transformed into a dolmen in the 18th century. The location is really fantastic in a grove in the middle of a grassy field. I walked from Verrieres, about 2 km one way. You can park at the end of the village, where the dirt road starts. The road is not suitable for normal cars, and anyway the last 400 meters are a small path. The walk is very pleasant under the trees. (Original) Deze dolmen is eigenlijk een tumulus die in de 18e eeuw onkundig in een dolmen is veranderd. De locatie is echt fantastisch in een bosje midden in een grasveld. Ik heb gewandeld vanuit Verrieres, ongeveer 2 km enkele reis. Je kan parkeren aan het eind van het dorpje, daar waar de zandweg begint. De weg is niet geschikt voor normale auto's, en sowieso zijn de laatste 400 meter een klein paadje. De wandeling is erg aangenaam onder de bomen.

(Translated by Google) Thank you for this visit recommendation, we were well received by the people on the site and we shared a very good time as a family.... the children were able to learn more about the history of the region and the village (do not hesitate to take the audio for total immersion... available in English, Russian and Mandarin). A good afternoon of hiking and a change of scenery 😁. Ps: the audio treasure hunt is very nice 😁 (Original) Merci pour cette recommandation de visite, nous avons été bien accueilli par les gens du site et nous avons partagé un très bon moment en famille .... les enfants ont pu en apprendre plus sur l'histoire de la région et du village (n'hésitez pas à prendre l'audio pour une immersion totale... disponible en Anglais, Russe et Mandarin). Une bonne après-midi de randonnée et de dépaysement 😁. Ps: le jeu de piste de l'audio est très sympa 😁

(Translated by Google) Everything was perfect! Unfortunately, it's located quite far from the GR30, so we went there on the advice of locals and we weren't disappointed. The staff was absolutely lovely, the room was clean, and the breakfast buffet was perfect for a great day of hiking. All this at an affordable price, of course! (Original) Tout était parfait ! Malheureusement situé assez loin du GR30 nous y sommes allés sous conseil des habitants et nous n’avons pas été déçu, personnel absolument adorable, chambre propre, petit déjeuner sous forme de buffet, parfait pour une bonne journée de randonnée.

(Translated by Google) We only spent one night there... And fortunately!! The hotel is out of time!! Everything is very dark and the room and corridors smell musty The slightest step and everything creaks, the TV is as big as an A4 sheet...the carpet everywhere...the colors yuck The breakfast is not worth the price!! Nothing!! it's a real shame because if a real renovation and real motivation were undertaken this hotel would have great potential. In any case we will not come back!! (Original) Nous y avons passé seulement une nuit... Et heureusement !! L'hôtel est hors du temps !! Tout est très sombre et la chambre et les couloirs sentent le renfermé Le moindre pas et tout grince, la télé est aussi grande qu'une feuille A4...la moquette partout.. les couleurs beurk Le petit déjeuner n'est pas a la hauteur du prix !! Ya rien !! c'est vraiment dommage car si une vraie rénovation et une vraie motivation étaient entreprises cet hôtel aurait un beau potentiel. En tout cas nous ne reviendrons pas !!

(Translated by Google) Following our visit to the town of Saint-Nectaire, we decided to visit this tea room/regional produce store. As for the food, we were delighted with the drinks and desserts: very good, not too sweet (for the cappuccino and pastries), and reasonably priced. Being able to enjoy coffee on the terrace with a view of the Saint-Nectaire church is a significant plus. As for the regional produce store, we also found what we were looking for and were able to leave with products at very reasonable prices. The location is unique (and beautiful), the furniture and terrace decor are very tasteful, and the owners are very warm and friendly. In short, a place that ticks all the boxes: 100% recommended! (Original) Suite à notre visite de la ville de Saint-Nectaire, nous avons décidé de rentrer dans ce salon de thé/point de vente de produits régionaux. Côté cuisine, nous avons été ravis par les boissons et les desserts : très bons, peu sucrés (pour le capuccino et la pâtisserie), prix peu élevés. Le fait de pouvoir prendre le café en terrasse avec la vue sur l'église de Saint-Nectaire est un plus non négligeable. Côté point de vente de produits régionaux nous avons aussi trouvé notre bonheur et pu repartir avec des produits à des prix très raisonnables. Le lieu est atypique (et magnifique), le mobilier et la déco de terrasse sont de très bon goût et les propriétaires sont très chaleureux et souriants. En bref, un lieu qui coche toutes les cases : recommandé à 100% !
