Saint-Sornin — our new village

L’agriculture est le fer de lance de cette petite commune de 228 âmes, fière de son patrimoine naturel et bâti typiquement bourbonnais. Église romane, maisons de maîtres, fermes anciennes et moulin à eau lui confèrent son charme rural. Son plan d’eau et la rivière Aumance qui traverse la commune font le bonheur des pêcheurs

Agriculture is the backbone of this small commune of 228 souls, proud of its natural heritage and buildings typical of the Bourbon area. A romanesque church, grand houses, ancient farms and a water mill give it its rural charm. Its lake and the River Aumance which crosses the commune are the delight of fishermen.

I particularly like the motto (at the bottom): “If it rains on St Victorien’s day (23 March), you can count on plenty of hay.”—
