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.

La guide était sympathique et compétente.
La visite du musée est adaptée aux enfants.
Nous y avons trouvé la liste des fermiers faisant du Salers tradition. Merci :)
Plusieurs films expliquent bien les caractérisées de la salers et son élevage.
Belle découverte concernant cette race bovine et dégustation en fin de visite.
Il faut bien compter presque 2h pour tout voir.
