The Auvergne landscape is varied and beautiful, much of it with
national park status. The Combrailles region consists of undulating
hills covered in forest, cut through with spectacular rivers and
gorges. The altitude rises towards the volcanic peaks –
the last volcano erupted some 7000 years ago.To the south of Clermont
Ferrand are the evergreen forests and wild crags of the Livraidois
and sunny plains leading to the south of France.
The Auvergne also offers nine 18-hole golf courses for beginners
and experts alike. Some of them with beautiful greens nestling
between volcanoes and forests.
The region is steeped in history,
dotted with ancient castles and farms. There are plenty of fascinating
towns and villages to visit, each with it's own character, many
with authentic local markets.
The buzzy city of Clermont Ferrand is
in the centre of the region and is an urban contrast to the lush
countryside surrounding it.
If all this sounds a little exhausting, there are several therapeutic
spa towns where you can relax and
experience the healing mineral waters. There is even a Buddhist
retreat with visitors centre just 8km from Gite La Jonchere.
