Salers is one of those very beautiful villages in France that you absolutely must visit. The village alone has around thirty items classified or registered in the additional inventory of Historic Monuments.
The village of Salers is a journey back in time: houses with turrets, belfry, ramparts ... Salers takes you back to the Middle Ages and then to the Renaissance.
In the largest square, the statue of Tyssandier d'Escous, renovator of the Salers cattle breed, reminds you that you are in the land of red cows.
