Which cities to visit in Auvergne?

A green heart, Livradois-Forez is an authentic land of Auvergne. On his card, Thiers, Billom and Lezoux, Ambert, The Chaise-Dieu. Destinations none of which resembles the others.

Let's fly over this map. First of all, from the plains, the country folds into hills crowned with villages, then in mountains covered with forests. Then, towards the east, it lowers to the banks of the Dore, before rising again and taking the name of drill. To the north, dominating Thiers, are the Bois Noirs. Beyond Ambert lie the Hautes Chaumes, where the horizon is vast. Finally, the Velay to the south, sees La Chaise-Dieu rise.

Land of contrasts, the Livradois-Forez, has been cultivating know-how for centuries which today contributes to a reasonable, sustainable economy, always in tune with the demands of the times. Here, we strive to think of the future without forgetting the past. The patrimony natural, cultural and human is at the heart of the development carried by the Livradois-Forez Regional Natural Park.
