Traditional Auvergne music Listen to the Auvergne’s equivalent to the bagpipes;” La Cabrette,” the accordion, the violin and the harmonica. Appreciate the local music as well as the local produce at the farm markets and at the village fetes!
La Salers, With its ginger coat and its lyre shaped horns, this cow is part of the countryside around the Monts du Cantal. Some farmers have turned towards Normandy, Montbéliardes or Aubrac cows, however most farmers in the Murat area farm Salers cows .They have many qualities: they resist in cold or hot temperatures, they are agile and are able to climb over the summer grazing pastures, their liquorice flavoured milk is ideal for cheese making and their meat is extremely tender and tasty…
