Ébreuil is an ancient town, bordered by the Sioule river and located at the entrance of the Sioule Gorge, an heaven-like place for fishermen, with the Chouvigny castle overseeing the place. The streets of the old city of Ébreuil will lead you to: the Saint-Léger abbey, a one-star location at the Green Michelin Guide, dating back to the 9th century; the merchants’ covered market, registered Monument Historique; the ancient salt attic; the Echaguette house… without forgetting the 18th century Charitains’ Hospital, with its art gallery and lake.
Nature destination by excellence and Holiday Green Station : you will be able to fish, rent a canoe, practice hiking and numerous other activities with your friends or family.

The inhabitants of this city are called the fiolants and fiolantes, from the name of the little bottle full of brandy (a fiole) that they took with them to warm up while working in the vines.
Finally, Ébreuil has obtained the label “Small City of Character” in 2019, the promise not to leave you indifferent.
