Pretty good ski resorts as well.
Love the Cantal cheese, especially the lait cru.
Can be bloody cold in winter.

This is just outside Allanche dep 15, not the prettiest village in France but lovely countryside. Coffee 6 out of 10 but cheap.

You should take it out of the fridge for a while before you eat it.
