Doyet (Allier, France)
Doyet is a rural village in the Allier department, rooted in the Bourbonnais bocage. It offers a quiet village life, scattered farms and country roads suited to slow discovery. The local heritage is visible in some old buildings and in the organization of the agricultural landscape. It is a stop for those seeking nature, silence and a glimpse of Auvergne rural life.
Heritage and history
The heart of the village retains elements of traditional rural architecture and a église paroissiale that structures the town. The farms and their outbuildings illustrate dwelling and farming methods of the bocage. Local documents and commemorative plaques recall peasant history and developments of the 19th and 20th centuries.
