With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up everything that Laveissiere, 20 miles away, has to offer. Puy Mary, Téléphérique du Plomb du Cantal and Maison de la Faune alone make the drive out worth it. Espalion is another popular option. It’s 25 miles away and has a variety of interesting things to see and do. Joseph Vaylet Museum, Church of Perse and Chateau de Calmont d’Olt are just the start.
