Car Hire in Moulins - Mini guide to Moulins

Moulins

In the rush of progress, small jewels like Moulins are becoming rarer all the time. This small cathedral town of 22,000 in the Auvergne region of central France is full of cultural and architectural treasures worth visiting. Once the principal city of the Bourbon dukes, Moulins is today a sleepy place with plenty to see.

The focal point of the town is the cathedral St Pierre, a fine example of Gothic architecture built over 900 years, with construction having begun in the 11th century. The narrow, circling stone streets of the old town are lined with ancient medieval buildings. Climb the circular stairway to the top of the clock tower for a great view, or sit in the town square below and listen to the bells mark the time.

Local restaurateurs offer menus du terroir composed of regional specialties. Try chicken Bourbonnais with Charroux mustard, apple and black pudding tatin, or Bourbonnais paté accompanied by the local Saint Pourçain wine and Bourbonnes bread.

There are a number of guesthouses and small hotels in Moulins, many with fine restaurants. For longer holiday stays, the countryside is dotted with gites, or holiday homes and villas. There is also a full service campground with recreational facilities just outside town.

Moulin, situated a 2 hour, 30 minute drive south of Paris, is a charming stopover for travelers to France’s central region. The countryside around Moulins is best explored by rental car for better access to the many chateaux, castles, and the natural wonders of the region.
