Gannat, a town to discover

Published 21 February 2021

Gannat is a town near Vichy that is gently transforming itself, following the example of its big sister.

Several places will help you better appreciate the charms of this small town, including the fairground, which will share its lovely colours and charm with you.

If you take the time to wander around the town centre, you will discover a festival of architecture and history radiating through the town.

Here are some of the monuments not to be missed:

• The Église Sainte-Croix,
• The Musée Yves Machelon,
• The Maison Machelon,
• The Tour Calixte-Moulin,
• The Tour Larat,
• The Tour Graulier,
• The Maison Julien,
• The Résidence Châtelet,
• The covered market,
• The lanterne des morts (lantern of the dead)...
  

Other places are worth discovering near the centre. Go and see the railway station, with its fine architecture, or the Église Saint-Etienne, a little out of the way but welcoming.
