Montbeugny: Falconry, a cycling loop and motorsport

If you’re looking for a hotel in Montbeugny, you can plan your stay around different interests: falconry, cycling, motorsport, architectural history or a tandem skydive each offer a distinct experience. Practical arrangements also vary. Courses and demonstrations have set dates and require registration, driving a car on the circuit requires a reservation, and skydiving is seasonal. Looking into each activity can help you tailor your stay to your plans.

Falconry: a course or group visit

Domaine de l’Hippogriffe offers introductory falconry in two formats: two-day courses or half-day taster sessions. You can choose between a longer course and a shorter introduction. Confirm dates and availability before booking.

Individuals can also join a group visit and attend demonstrations. Check the event dates and register by email. A group visit is different from a booked course, so also check whether the registration process is still current before you go.

Cycling loop and motorsport

The “À l'orée des bois et des champs” cycling loop starts in Montbeugny and is 26.2 kilometres long. It is recommended for cyclists and e-bike users. Its length and starting point give you useful details for planning your ride; conditions along the route can change, so it’s worth checking for current information.

The Circuit du Bourbonnais offers different driving experiences. The track is 2.3 kilometres long and 10 metres wide, with many possible configurations. You can drive exceptional cars such as Porsches and Ferraris on the circuit. Advance reservations are required. The circuit also offers training for motorcyclists. If you’re choosing between a cycling trip and an activity on the circuit, these are two clearly different ways to explore the world of driving.

Church history and the Sologne Bourbonnaise

Église Saint-Roch is a brick and stone church designed by the architect Mitton between 1884 and 1887. The history of its parish goes back much further: it dates to the first half of the ninth century and was initially dedicated to Saint Sebastian. The local history therefore brings together two distinct periods—the early history of the parish and the later design of the church.

The Sologne Bourbonnaise also offers a regional perspective: Montbeugny is one of its municipalities. As of January 7, 2025, the Sologne Bourbonnaise is classified as a continental ZNIEFF type 2. This designation places the specific local attractions in a broader geographical context.

Direct sales and seasonal activities

Ferme des Aubracs sells Aubrac beef directly to customers in Montbeugny. Farm visits are by appointment. If you’d like to combine a visit with a purchase, arrange your appointment accordingly.

Auvergne Parachutisme offers tandem skydives from Montbeugny airfield. Operations are seasonal, so check the current dates before planning or booking a jump. Along with falconry courses, the cycling loop and activities at the circuit, skydiving offers another way to plan your stay around a specific activity.
