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.
