Mailhat is a small village of 50 inhabitants which is worth a detour for its beautiful Romanesque arkose church, Notre-Dame-de-Mailhat, with its original architecture.

This section of the Via Allier offers a view of the village of Usson, perched on its volcanic peak. It is one of the "Most Beautiful Villages of France."

Nonnesette Castle, built on this hill overlooking the Couze Valley, was destroyed by Richelieu in the 17th century. You can still see the remains of the towers, gates, and walls, and enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.

A worthwhile place! Small, quiet. Neat slope for cyclists. Castle ruins can be seen at the top of the hill. Great view.
