| Auvergne |
| "On the side of the rising sun" |
| Auvergne is situated in the beautiful "Massif Central" region of
France between the cities of Lyon and Clermont-Ferrand. It is a land of rolling
hills, rising to 1400m, of sparkling streams, lakes, and peaceful valleys. The
volcanic upheaval of ancient times has left a landscape of immense beauty and
amazing contrast. Often referred to as the "secret garden of France" it
represents everything truley French, from traditions to relaxed
lifestyle. |
| Clermont-Ferrand, Le Puy and Vichy are just one hour away by car and
the centre of Lyon two. Ambert is the market town and is at the heart of
National Park - Livradois-Forez. |
