The historic abbatiale town of Issoire , 10 minutes from the house, offers transport links, a weekly market, new swimming complex, spas, canoeing and jet ski centre together with a circuit for racing and all the usual sport facilities. Bowling centre and the cinema is situated close to the town. In addition it has a large number of supermarkets selling local produce including the well known Auvergne cheeses and wines from local producers .
