THE BURONS OF THE CANTAL HIGH MOUNTAINS
Explore Auvergne on unusual circuits that go off the beaten track is an enriching
experience like the stays in the burons of the Cantal High Mountains which will be an opportunity for you to discover unique places complemented by well - preserved
historical and ancestral traditions integrating radiant landscapes embellished with rich and diverse flora and fauna.
Located in the heart of the Auvergne Phone Alpes region, the Cantal department is a radiant land that enchants with the beauty of its natural spaces that are also interesting to discover as part of unusual stays in burons steeped in history, traditions and local customs since these dwellings carved in stone and slate and true emblems of the Cantal highlands whose first constructions date back to the middle of the 17th century were at the time the living spaces of the cowherds comprising a semi-buried and vaulted building divided into 2 rooms also serving as a cheese dairy and cellar to store and refine cheeses such as Cantal volumes and these stay formulas which have been developing for several years are
also part of an approach of sustainable development in good balance with the values of eco-tourism which are also
found in the choice materials for the renovation of living and reception areas of the burons as well as for catering and
products from the terroir with options for selling local products in short circuits in addition to gastronomic traditions
well-preserved ancestral traditions such as cheese production which are an integral part of the history of the burons in
complement to additional activities often including sports activities. A very interesting feature in this territory located
in the heart of France was
there the creation in 2010 by the Auvergne Regional Tourism Committee the NATTITUDE
brand which is a network comprising site and place hosts composed of hotels as well as cottages or guest rooms
alongside campsites and a typical living spaces located in the heart of nature and in the mountains like the burons,
as well as the tree houses and wooden houses located on the waters of lakes or ponds.
"The quality of the welcome from our guests is essential because beyond the common passion for Auvergne shared by all members of the network,
we also have great importance to conviviality, hospitality and the promotion of local customs and traditions. In addition,
Cantal, which is a territory with radiant landscapes and places as unique as they are diverse, is also interesting to
discover whether during sports stays also including hikes in the mountains as in the forest or along its rivers completed
with the discovery of local specificities also gastronomic like for example this delicious liqueur produced from gentian which is a Yellow flowering plant that grows in the Cantal Mountains with edible roots which give this drink a very particular taste that accompanies the lunches and dinners of our guests"
tell me with a smile Christine,a member of the network and owner of 2 burons and 6 guest rooms near Lavigerie.
Unique And Great Welcoming Places
Visiting Cantal and staying in burons located sometimes up to 1500 meters above sea level is a pure marvel because
there we discover unique places tinged with multiple colors, sometimes preceded by morning mists which cover,like a
cloud, the foothills of its landscapes and its peaks and which are reminiscent of a painting impressionist" The diversity
of these places, each as enchanting as the next, is a pleasure to explore in parallel to express all the diversity of our
territories integrating the good practices of ecotourism respectful of the environment which are in particular the richness and variety of its fauna and flora which one finds by crisscrossing its forests, its summits and also its valleys like that of La Jordanne to meet there in particular species which are the marmot in the same way as birds of prey like the peregrine falcon which it is interesting to admire in its sometimes ceremonial gestures including reflections which blend
into the river in a burst of multiple colors" tell me Patrick and Laurence FANDENELLE, originally from TOURS, who came to stay with their family In 2 burons located in the Mars Valley near Salers.» The Advantage of "Nattitude" network is its diversity that we find in the types of stays whether they are short, medium or long term in addition to the places of life
offered and their locations with variations and prices adapted for all budgets" indicates Jean François GENDRE owner
