Auberge de l'Âne

Parc Naturel Régional des Volcans d'Auvergne


After days spent tramping the trails around St-Nectaire or skiing Super-Besse, you need no-frills cuisine in gargantuan portions and this local favourite delivers. Pop a trouser button for fondue of St-Nectaire cheese, melt-in-the-mouth confit duck, or warming potée auvergnate (soup of cabbage and potatoes). It's 5km north of St-Nectaire. Book ahead.

Kids' menus include a mini truffade and ice cream (€6-8.50).
