Auvergne,Cévennes & Ardèche
Auvergne
General
The hills of the Auvergne form part of the huge region known as the Massif Central. Volcanic activity has left the Auvergne with a landscape of lush green woodland and clear blue lakes interspersed with rocky peaks and craters. This beautiful region is famous for its spas including the one at Vichy. A wonderful area for outdoor activities such as canoeing and walking, there are also countless hilltop castles, churches and fascinating extinct volcanos and deep canyons to explore.
Cévennes + Ardèche
The rich landscape of inland France is ideal for a variety of family activities including cycling, canoeing and even white water rafting. The River Ardèche, with its dramatic ravines, winds its way through an area of great contrasts, with pasture and woodland in the north, orchards and vineyard to the east and dramatic scenery created by volcanic activity in the south. The Cévennes mountains in the south-west are more remote, and are a mecca for wildlife.
