Salers Attractions

The little medieval town of Salers (pop. 368), picturesquely situated at an altitude of 951m/3,120ft, has preserved its old walls, many old gabled and tower houses and some Renaissance houses. The 15th century church of St-Matthieu, which preserves a Romanesque arch, has old Aubusson tapestries and a Holy Sepulchre of 1495. The Maison des Templiers contains a small exhibition on the history of Salers and some material illustrating the folk traditions of the area. The Grande Place is one of the finest squares in France.
