Immerse yourself in Auvergne

Immerse yourself in Auvergne

There are a number of delights which await those who have bought a property in Auvergne.

This little known mountainous region in central France offers activities to entertain even the most lethargic of visitors and is one of the most relaxing places in the country to explore.

Auvergne spring water


The region is perhaps best known for its stunning volcanic mountains and amazing views, while many are also aware that Volvic, the famous Auvergne spring water, comes from a few miles up the road.

For those who prefer to potter around town, Vichy is renowned for being the most elegant city in Auvergne and is well worth a visit. It is from here that the famous Vichy skin care range was founded with its products being filtered through the earth's deep volcanic layers.

Camping in Auvergne


Although many associate camping in France with Provence in the south, Auvergne offers some fantastic spots to pitch a tent as well as dozens of activities to entertain the family.

Skiing in winter and walks in summer are recommended to take in the scenery of the Massif Centrale mountains, while driving around the twisty roads will allow you to catch a glimpse of the dairy herds and roaming sheep on which the local economy relies.

Weather in the region is somewhat erratic with its high altitude meaning that hot summer days are often punctuated by sudden storms. Meanwhile, winters are more romantic with often snowy conditions.
