Chez nous, there is no need to choose between city and countryside !
This town of a bit more than 6,000 inhabitants will astonish you with its shops and services. Gannat provides pleasant and dynamic living conditions. Known as “the city in the countryside”, it offers all the advantages of a town, at the heart of a preserved environment.

Besides the remains of its history; the Saint-Croix church, the fortifications of the ancient castle of the Sires of Bourbon, the old towers; what catches one’s attention in Gannat is its friendly atmosphere, at the heart of the countryside. Come to visitthe Yves Machelon municipal museum, keeper, inter alia, of the Carolingian Evangeliary, and offering temporary exhibitions.
The city also benefits from a worldwide recognition thanks to its music and dance festival: Les Cultures du Monde (The Cultures of the World), partnering the UNESCO; and its paleontology park: Paléopolis, la colline aux dinosaures.
