The volcanoes of Auvergne, called “Puys” constitute a geological and geographic rarity in Europe. Vulcania, the brand new centre dedicated to volcanism offers a first insight. A wide-ranging tour of several days should allow you to grasp the different and surprising aspects.

During your journey, visit the Richard de Bas mill at Ambert, take a musical break at the festival of La Chaise Dieu, and relive history through the various castles, roman churches and museums.

You like walking in the country? The chain of Puys offers hikes for all at the heart of imposing landscapes. Unforgettable: a flight over the chain of Puys in a hot air balloon or paraglider.
