Small Boutique hotels in AUVERGNE

Auvergne has the honor of being the oldest region in France while the landscape, due to having been an ancient volcanic zone, gives it a unique character.

Its capital, Clermont-Ferrand, saw the construction of the Notre-Dame Cathedral with two spectacular Romanesque bell towers and stained glass windows. The building began in the thirteenth century and concluded in the nineteenth century with the oversight of the famous architect Viollet-le-Duc. The Cathedral of Le Puy-en Velay is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the spectacular sanctuary of Saint-Michel d'Aguilhe, crowning a cliff, is a remarkable place of pilgrimage. Vichy is a world apart. The majesty of its buildings attests to a past where royalty indulged in the golden age of thermal waters. Today its waters are still an emblem of health.

The Regional Natural Park of the Volcanoes of Auvergne, a natural treasure, extends far and wide with lakes, rivers of dry lava, and the plain of the Limange. Configured from successive eruptions, it is a set of 80 volcanoes among which the Puy de Dôme, was declared a Grand Site of France. Vulcania Park educates the general public about the phenomenon of volcanoes.

You should not leave these lands without trying "saint-nectaire", a delicious cheese. Having been made for centuries in the region, it is considered a star product. In this area, stately and emblematic buildings have been transformed into charming hotels.
