What to expect on your holiday in Auvergne?
The cheeses Bleu d'Auvergne, Cantal, Fourme d'Ambert and Saint-Nectaire; the hot springs of Vichy; the dormant volcanoes of the Chaîne des Puys in the Parc Naturel Régional des Volcans d'Auvergne or theme park Vulcania; the lava rock buildings, including the proudly central 13th-century cathedral with its impressive stained-glass windows and beautiful murals in Clermont-Ferrand; more architectural heritage in Le Puy-en-Velay; and, of course, the Michelin adventure museum... There is much to taste, see and do in Auvergne!

Aurillac hosts the street theatre festival; the more than 1,000-year-old centre of the town of Brioude is home to one of the Auvergne's most beautiful Romanesque churches; in Moulins, capital of the Allier, you can discover architectural beauties, including churches, a cathedral, a bell tower, as many as five museums and some fine examples of private hotels, while walking; or put on your hiking boots and climb to the top of the well-known Puy-de-Dôme or head to the highest peak of the Massif Central: The Puy de Sancy.
