The most beautiful natural sites to discover Auvergne

Here, the Cère makes a break in the landscape. The river then seems to slip away in the rock. For thousands of years, the water has been tirelessly digging its way through the narrow gorges, "le pas". The site is exotic! It has inspired all the local or visiting painters since the 18th century. Moreover, the place shelters a fauna and a flora having known to adapt to the verticality and the weak luminosity. On the way, you can admire the Roucole waterfall or otters fishing.

If you don't see it immediately when you train, the Saline cascade is there. Here, the Auze River drops thirty meters high! The site impresses with the fall and the viaduct that overlooks it across the road. Under the waterfall, you will notice a cavity from which a source springs; This is the Druid Fountain. A hiking path, marked in blue, proposes to walk to the foot of the waterfall and then in the village of Salins, offering beautiful views. Circuit available at the Tourist Office of Mauriac.

This 800-meter-high retreat offers a unique panorama of Auvergne volcanoes. Ideal for lovers of fancy in a 15 hectares of pure happiness. The Portelas Greenhouse is managed and animated by volunteers who do not look to give their time and skills. Every Saturday a meal is organized at a more than democratic price. There is no defense to this land. We assume there must be, but we can't find it. Ah if: There are unfortunately few rental homes, only four mobil homes. Too bad, but it can be understood: This requires maintenance and volunteers (even if there are certainly the 'Greenhouse', it would take even more!). Club members are super nice and welcoming, which gives a very good atmosphere. We don't say any more, come to realize yourself by descending towards noon. And you will see: You will stay there! Equipment: Swimming pool - two basins - and pool, tennis court, archery, ping-pong, volleyball, basketball, library, garden of flavors, a playground for children, etc. This is a real paradise especially for children. In season, there are activities every day: Introduction to archery, gymnastics, aquagym, drawing courses, walks organized on foot or ATV… There are therefore all tastes.
