If you are passionate about nature and crazy about history, you will love Gannat, a picture-postcard medieval town. Wander around a maze of streets and discover the remains of the Larat and Calixte Moulin watchtowers, the Painted Church of the Holy Cross and the old castle, which houses the Yves Machelon Municipal Museum and takes visitors on a deep dive into the history of the town. You can also undertake a journey in time in Paléopolis — La colline aux dinosaures, a fun, high-tech theme park about palaeontology. If you want to touch grass, you can roam the Jardin Delarue, a lush place home to thousands of species of trees and other plants. Gannat also owes its character to the Andelot, the rushing stream that flows through it, as well as three sensitive natural areas: the Coteau des Chapelles, the Mont Libre and the meadows in Les Diagots. Gannat is the perfect blend of historical and natural discoveries.
