Clermont-Ferrand can also form the starting point for a number of tours to some of the most interesting tourism attractions in the Auvergne. Easily accessible for whole or half-day excursions which include lakes, volcanoes, towns and castles, all sources of pride and fame for the region, not forgetting the warm and hearty local cuisine.
Number one tourist attraction in the Auvergne is the 1,465 m high Puy de Dôme which dominates the "PuyChain". It is the ideal destination for an outing of historic and sporting interest. Drive up the road which winds like a helterskelter to the top, or follow the "Mule track" which perpetuates an old Roman path to the Temple of Mercury, traces of which can still be seen at the top of the volcano. Your efforts are rewarded at the top by the incredibly beautiful panorama which unfolds to the eyes, revealing the entire "Puy Chain" and the green and fertile plains of the Limagne.
