Charming Guest House in Thiers
A timeless escape awaits you. Soon, discover exceptional accommodation in the heart of the cutlery capital.
Maison Maubert is preparing to become your new premier destination for a stay in Thiers (Puy-de-Dôme). Nestled on the heights of the medieval city, our guest house overlooks iconic sites of Auvergne’s industrial heritage: the spectacular Creux de l’Enfer, the historic Usine du May, and our very own cutlery workshop, Fontenille Pataud.
More than just an overnight stay, we invite you to enjoy a truly immersive experience. Every window in our rooms offers a breathtaking view of the Durolle River, whose rushing waters have echoed through centuries of knife-making history.
To perfect your mornings, a homemade breakfast, prepared by us, is included in your stay. Both flavorful and authentic, it provides the ideal prelude to your discoveries in Thiers.
A Charming Overnight Stay
Treat yourself to an enchanting escape in our Thiers guest house, where every detail has been carefully designed to enhance your stay. Maison Maubert offers a spacious room—a true sanctuary of serenity that masterfully blends the highest standards of modern comfort with old-world charm.
As you step across the threshold, you will discover a space where noble materials and echoes of the past—exposed beams, generous proportions, and weathered hardwood floors—interplay harmoniously with sleek contemporary decor and high-end amenities. Breakfast included.
Guest Table
At Maison Maubert, hospitality extends far beyond your overnight stay. As evening falls, we invite you to share a unique culinary experience at our guest table. Enjoy authentic, convivial cuisine, passionately crafted to showcase the local treasures of the Livradois-Forez region.
Within the warm embrace of our restored home, we offer a moment of complete disconnection, where the joy of dining becomes a true sensory journey into the heart of Auvergne.
Immersion Coutelière
Staying at Maison Maubert means enjoying privileged access to the history of Thiers’ knife-making heritage. As hosts deeply rooted in this region and passionate about our craft, we are dedicated to sharing the soul of this unique industrial city with you.
This passion is brought to life through our close ties with houses of excellence, notably the renowned Fontenille Pataud cutlery. Located just a few steps from our guest house, this prestigious workshop—officially certified as a “Living Heritage Company” (Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant)—embodies the very essence of fine craftsmanship.
