This area is best seen from above. If you are a lover of hang gliding or parapenting, you should fly over this region. But to come just for flying would be a heresy. This area needs to be explored in depth.
Descend the mountain streams and enjoy the mythical experience
of salmon fishing.. The pleasure of a stay in the Cantal: 3 million
years ago this enormous volcano was subsiding.. 50 kilometers
in diameter. Then came the erosion, the glaciers completed their
masterly work.. Go into, the craters in search of wild sheep.
Saint Etienne-Cantales has something of the feel of Canada.. explore
its lake, its islands and its rivers bordered with huge forests.
Rustic cows graze here. It is from their milk that the famous
cheeses are made. You will be fascinated by Saler, a village with
a habitat of lava, as if straight from a story. A Reservoir of
oxygen, this is the Massif du Sancy with its Bourbole, a spa town
since the 15th century.. the valleys are entirely unspoiled, the
lakes coiled up in their crater.. Fleuron du Parc des Volcas,
you will find yourself in front of the range of the Puys: 80 cone
or dome-shaped craters, young volcanoes still releasing their
warm water into fountains.. You will arrive at the gates of the
capital Clermont-Ferrand with its cathedral in the black lava
of Volvic...
