Moulins is the capital of the Allier department and owes its name to the numerous water mills along the Allier River. The town is home to many remarkable sights, including the Gothic-style cathedral, the Sacré-Cœur in neo-Gothic architecture, and the Jacquemart Belfry, built between 1451 and 1455.
Those who enjoy culture paired with a good meal or drink can visit Place de l’Allier and the Grand Café, built in Art Nouveau style. Famous visitors such as Georges Simenon and Coco Chanel were regular guests.
The Centre National du Costume de Scène is a museum in Moulins dedicated to costumes and stage sets, housing more than 20,000 costumes.
