The village of Champagny has a small but fine
selection of restaurants to suit all tastes (9), just
enough bars, even a disco and cinema, mini
supermarket, boulangerie and local speciality shop
with more services in nearby Bozel (3 miles away).
Entertainment in Champagny is organised every week
with a welcome drink on Sundays.
Champagny is renowned for cross country and winter
walkers but for something different try the new 20m
