Usson is a beautiful village perched on a volcanic peak facing the Chaîne des Puys, the Monts Dore, and the Cézallier Plateau. It was once the site of a castle where Queen Margot was exiled for 19 years. If you're looking for a sightseeing and historical stop, Usson offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape, and you can visit the Saint-Maurice church, the remains of the ramparts, and the statue of the Virgin Mary overlooking the village.
