For greenery, mountains and unspoilt countryside head to Auvergne in central France for your villa or gite holiday. Get away to the Massif Central Mountains and valleys of Auvergne for a quieter part of France. This is volcanic country, so take a trip to Europe's hottest springs at Chaudes Aigues. Families will love the Vulcania theme park, which tells the history of these extinct volcanoes. Discover Auvergne's many castles and the lace-making tradition of Le Puy. But if you want a lively city, Clermont Ferrand is the regional capital.
Whatever you opt to see and do in Auvergne, we hope you find a comfortable holiday gite or villa to rent and that you have a wonderful time in this area of France.
