Ambert is in the Puy-de-Dome department, in eastern Auvergne.

The quiet, pleasant town is within the attractive surroundings of the Natural Regional Park of Livradois-Forez.

There is a small historic centre in the town with some medieval half-timbered buildings and the gothic style Church of Saint-Jean.

For many centuries the town was the French centre for paper-making, and there is a museum in the town to commemorate this history. There is also an active paper mill where visitors are welcome.

The second museum in the town, the Maison de la Fourme d’Ambert, is dedicated to the local cheese - the Fourme d'Ambert. Ambert is a 'classified AOC' cheese - be sure to try it!

Another museum, the Musée de la Machine Agricole et à Vapeur, is devoted to the local agricultural and industrial heritage of Ambert and features a collection of tractors and steam engines.

The mairie in the town is also of interest - a round building that was formerly the town grain hall.

There is also a small tourist train that passes through the surrounding countryside of the Livradois-Forez region leaving from Ambert (summer only).
