Ambert
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.
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 is dedicated to the local cheese - the Fourme d'Ambert. Ambert is a 'classified AOC' cheese - be sure to try it!
The mairie in the town is also of interest - a round building that was formerly the town grain hall.
