THE HOUSE OF SALERS
A fun and modern space to learn more about the emblematic breed of Cantal in Saint-Bonnet-de-Salers.
The Maison de la Salers is entirely dedicated to the red cow. It is installed in a stable of the XVIIth century. It is a playful and modern space that allows you to learn more about the emblematic breed of the Cantal. With the help of touch screens and short films, you will discover the work of the breeders, the international influence and the qualities of the breed. Activities are regularly proposed, in particular a treasure hunt to share with the family every Tuesday in July and August. A tasting area awaits you at the end of the visit.
