The municipality of Flayat offers a second life in the old post office building. Located in front of the church, the room was completely renovated in recent months. From now on, it sports a very pretty facade of stones and wood. The interior has also been redesigned to accommodate new services. It was officially inaugurated on Tuesday, November 2, in the presence of many elected officials and the prefect of Creuse.
A ground floor dedicated to community life
The first level of the building will serve in particular as an extension to the Space Café. This associative café located in Flayat is labeled a third place. Part of its activities will now take place in the former post office. The coworking space and the reprography service thus moved into the refurbished building. Dedicated workshops families could also take place there.
All associations of the municipality will have access to this ground floor. They may in particular organize meetings there etc.
A stopover gîte upstairs
A small light wooden staircase leads upstairs. This second level has a completely different function. This is a stopover gîte : tourist accommodation intended for welcoming hikers or cycle tourists who usually only stay one night before continuing their trip.

Accommodation includes twelve beds, including one adapted for people with disabilities. A kitchenette and sanitary facilities have also been fitted out.
Around Flayat, the hotel offer is poor. The town hopes to attract tourists. This lodge could also be used to accommodate the artists who perform at the Café de l’Espace. It will also be useful when family reunification takes place in the municipality.
Flayat: a small dynamic town
Flayat has about 300 inhabitants. This hyper-rural town located on the Millevaches plateau is nevertheless known for its very important associative life. The municipality has also succeeded in attracting 17 new families in two years .
The municipality has other projects on the go to continue attracting visitors to the municipality: such as the creation of a bivouac area by next summer.
