A land of impressive mountains and 'puys', long extinguished volcanos, set in the heart of France with, on one side, the Tarn gorges and its ravines and crevices, its rivers of clear water with healing power : a real garden of Eden for campers. On the other side stands Le Puy en Velay, holy city for thousands of years and one of the stations on the way to Compostella; sheep grazing on the green soft sloping fields of grass and ewes'milk is the raw material from which the famous cheese is made in Roquefort. Hills covered with heather, sparkling torrents and cascades, prairies planted with chestnut trees make for an attractive landscape. Whatever the season, this is a marvellously rich area. Country walking, mountain biking in stunning surroundings, the Auvergne region has all it takes for you to stay for a while in what could be otherwise called Heaven.
