The Auvergne with the Massif Central forms the wild and verdant heart of France. Beyond the tourist masses and highways, this medium mountain region, in which three large natural parks have already been arranged, has retained its original character. To the north, the cones of volcanoes extinguished from the domestands and the Mountains Dore are aligned by forming sweet hills, in the south, the volcanic massif of the Cantal form the largest eminencies. From the Puy - en - Velay, the popular path of Saint - Jacques crosses the south of the Massif Central, a varied region and charming, passes through the high trays impassable and deserted from the Margeride and the massif of the Aubrac as well as along. The beautiful valley of the lot to the Pyrenees. Blottis in this beautiful landscape, fortresses, castles, monasteries, romanesque churches and small medieval cities line hiking trails.
