Chanteuges: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes
Chanteuges is located where history and river landscape come together directly: the Benedictine abbey stands on a basalt spur at an altitude of 540 metres. Below it lie the village and its cobbled streets.
When planning your own stay, the desire to rent a holiday apartment in Chanteuges may also play a role.
Culture
The Church of Saint-Marcellin, dedicated to Saint Marcellin, dates back to the 12th century. In the Romanesque church, the permanent exhibition “Paroles de pierres” displays the sculptures of the capitals, including vegetal, figurative and historiated motifs.
Nature
Chanteuges is home to the Conservatoire national du saumon sauvage, Europe’s largest salmonid hatchery for reintroduction. The facility contributes to the conservation of salmon in the Loire-Allier basin and supplies young fish in Europe for reintroduction or for rearing in fish farms.
