Walking in auvergne Auvergne's immense greenland is peppered with trecks for all ages and experience. All kinds of hiking trails are to be found through the landscape that have been sculpted through the ages by volcanic eruptions. Sprinkled with lakes and peat bogs Auvergne truly is a haven for nature lovers. The Historic Road of the Auvergne Châteaux offers you showcases of the historical, artistic and architectural heritage of the region, laid out in six tours: tours of the Bourbonnais area, the Limagnes area, the Volcanoes, the Livradois-Forez area, the Cantalien Mountains and the Haute-Loire. Auvergne will astound any who venture out with its seemingly endless breath-taking scenery.
The road to Santiago de Compostela
The "Via Podiensis" starts at Le Puy-en-Velay and is one of the four roads described in the 12th century for travelling to the Spanish sanctuary of Santiago de Compostela. Pilgrims from the entire Christian world went there to venerate the relics of Christ’s apostle, martyred in Palestine in the year 44 and whose body lies in Galicia. Crossing the Monts du Velay, the road stops off at Saint-Privat-d'Allier, Monistrol-d'Allier and Saugues before continuing on to Conques in Rouergue. Laid out as the GR 65 hiking trail, this linear way lets the hiker follow his pilgrimage in a serene state of mind.
