As a light-hearted interlude read our tongue-in-cheek regional guides – here is an example:
The Puy-de-Dôme department is named after the enormous and hopefully extinct volcano that dominates the landscape. In about 5760 BC, just after tea-time, the top of the volcano exploded, spewing a torrent of noxious waste over the surrounding area. The aforementioned noxious volcanic waste now provides the allegedly beneficial trace elements in Volvic mineral water. Volvic also produces a range of fruit drinks called Touch of Fruit. (In the USA the name was hanged to Volvic Natural. I wonder why). Volvic is now owned by food giant Danone, most famous for the probiotic Über-yoghurt Actimel. Enjoy!
