Tournemire
Tournemire village ('most beautiful villages of France') is 15km north of Aurillac, in the Massif Central, (Auvergne region).
Tourist Information and places to visit
Tournemire sits on a hill overlooking the valley of the River Doire. It is within the regional natural park of the Auvergne volcanoes. The history of the village is tied up with two families - the Tournemire and the Anjony, and their battles to control the village.
The village is small, yet perfectly formed, with many attractive small houses. Some of the houses are built on earlier Roman foundations, and are built from the local volcanic rock with slate roofs. Along with Salers, also in the Cantal region to the north, the village is a very good (and attractive) example of the traditional local architecture.
The large-turretted Chateau de Anjony in Tournemire dates from the 15th century, and can be visited.
The little tourist office, next to the parking at the bottom of the village, has further information about activities in the village.
