LEMPTEGY VOLCANO
Have you ever walked inside a volcano or passed by a chimney? Live this unique experience!
To find out more about the region's volcanic history, we highly recommend a visit to Lemptégy! Just a 15-minute drive from Clermont-Ferrand, the site is unique in Europe for what it offers: a visit right into the heart of a real volcano. The visit begins with an immersive, fun-filled tour of the site's history. Then it's on to a 4D cinema experience that takes you back in time to the formation of the Lemptégy volcano, with breathtaking aerial views, sensory effects (heat, wind...) and dynamic seating. Then it's off, on foot or in the little train, for the great plunge through the volcano. The route is punctuated by several stages and rich, didactic and fascinating explanations. The tour is adapted for children, and thanks to the guides and audioguides, you can learn while having fun. A truly captivating experience. For thrill-seekers with a thirst for knowledge, the sensory attraction Le Volcan Express is the highlight of the show. Embark on a unique experience that reveals all the secrets behind the formation of the Chaîne des Puys and the Limagne fault, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Finally, stop off to discover the old industrial installations (trommel, scalper, screen and crusher) that will delight young and old alike. In summer, don't miss the immersive night-time shows. For those who want more, a special-rate pass also allows you to visit the Grotte de la Pierre in Volvic.
Les explications sont claires et adaptées à tous les publics et des temps d’arrêt sont prévus pour les photos et l’observation des lieux.
Vaut le détour, surtout que la visite se poursuit avec une attraction minière et un film en 4D. Possibilité de restauration sur place.
