Events calendar Puy-De-Dôme

Housed in a crater with almost perfectly circular contour, Pavin Lake has a supernatural appearance. According to season and climate, its waters vary from turquoise blue to very dark grey, due to the depth of its centre: 93 metres. Legend tells us that it houses a submerged city, drowned by the Devil's tears! If it is a natural curiosity, it does not pose any danger. A trail allows you to turn around in 1 h at the edge of the wood surrounding it.

You will surely be married to fishermen and mountaineers who also enjoy this atypical decor.

Tariff: free.

Duration: 1 h.

It's THE must-see event of the summer in Issoire! Every Friday evening (note the pun), the city center comes alive with free events and activities: night markets, concerts, outdoor film screenings, DJ sets, demonstrations... There is something for everyone! Each Friday evening has its own theme: family, sports, animals, world flavors, Auvergne day... For the occasion, some streets and boulevards become entirely pedestrian, allowing restaurants to extend their terraces. Convivial and festive!

Like John... like who? John? Why John? Why John? Maybe they'll tell you that at a concert. They, because Like John it is a duo: Claire and Gaëlle, composers, authors, singers, musicians. On stage, they accompany their voices on the flute, cello and other strings and electronic rhythms. Their music and lyrics bounce like light and acidic bubbles of life that we cross with joy, while leaving a small place for a sweet melancholy. The pep of the duo and their incisive and always welcome humour plunge the spectator into their universe. A beautiful French/English pop that makes you want to see them and see them again.

Notice to film lovers! Created in 2010, this film festival honors a country each year (Spain in 2023, the USA in 2020, Iran in 2016...). During two weeks, the public can discover more than 70 films projected in various places of the Country of Issoire (Issoire, Apchat, Brassac-les-Mines...). Some films are shown for the first time in France, Europe or even the world! Master class and animations for children also punctuate the week.

At the beginning of Chambon-sur-Lac, the 250 participants heat the engines to reach the summit of Mont-Dore, some 5 kilometers further! At a height of 381 m for an average slope of 7,5%, this stage of the France and Europe Championship celebrated its fiftieth edition in 2010. Considered to be 100 m of motor sport, this discipline always impresses, and to believe the many spectators who massage along the course, the vibrations of the cylinders do not tremble only the mountains of Auvergne, but also the hearts of their guardians.

The Lakes Round is organised by passionate members of the Mountain Mountain Mountain Summit (SLVTT). One objective: allow cyclists to discover the lakes, castles and summits of the Auvergne Volcanoes Regional Park under the best conditions. Each year, three new courses are offered according to the levels of practice (25 km, 50 km or 75 km) with differences ranging from 500 m to 2 400 m. Think of registering if the adventure is trying!
