You will know that you arrived at destination when seeing the 12th century keep, a vestige of the " Fortified Villages" area, dominating the Allier valley.

Upon arrival, you will be charmed by the beauty and harmony of the buildings in "Arkose" stone, and the warm atmosphere created by this local blond stone, unexploited until 1935.

Montpeyroux local population is proud and happy to live in one of the "The Most Beautiful Villages of France", keeping in mind that a century ago, their village was mostly abandoned and falling into ruin.

This "winemaker village" has experienced an extraordinary rebirth in recent decades while maintaining its soul and uniqueness, preserving a remarkable heritage and perpetuating its wine-growing tradition.
