About Montpeyroux Village
Perched on a hill above the Allier valley in the Auvergne, Montpeyroux is a beautiful wine village, one of the Plus Beaux Villages de France, built of the warm golden stone — arkose — once quarried here. Its lovingly restored houses climb to a striking round medieval keep, which can be climbed for a magnificent panorama over the river, the plain of the Limagne and the distant chain of volcanoes. Long a village of stone-cutters and vineyards, Montpeyroux has become a haven for craftspeople and artists, its flower-filled lanes dotted with workshops, galleries and welcoming terraces. Golden-hued, panoramic and full of creative life, wrapped in the vine-clad slopes of the Auvergne, Montpeyroux is a delightful village to wander and a fine base for exploring the volcanic landscapes and wines of the Puy-de-Dôme.
