If you love history, you’ll be captivated by the 14 km ‘La Résistance’ walk, which will take you to the hideout of Nestor Perret, leader of the Clermont-Ferrand Resistance. You’ll also be able to enjoy magnificent views of the Chaîne des Puys and the Combrailles.
If you’re not much of a walker, you can still reach and visit the Resistance camp on a 3 km round trip.

Nearby, you can have fun spotting the cat sculptures and paintings of Cat Street Art in the village of Gouttières, before enjoying a picnic at the playground or a delicious traditional meal at La Table de Gouttières.

To enhance your visit, a heritage guide to the village’s history is available for €3 at our four tourist information offices : Saint-Gervais-d’Auvergne, Châteauneuf-les-Bains, Pontgibaud and Les Ancizes-Comps, as well as from our online shop.
