Bungalow.Net's boarding houses in Auvergne and the land of volcanoes
With two of the largest regional parks in the country, Auvergne contains the largest environmentally protected expanse of wilderness in all of France, yet what makes the region truly unique are its dormant volcanoes. From one of Bungalow.Net's boarding houses in Auvergne you can marvel at these natural wonders as you pursue a variety of outdoor sports including hang gliding, ballooning, via ferrata and mountaineering. A network of well-marked trails, suitable for persons of all abilities, enable you to spend a glorious day hiking or cycling. Stop off at one of the crater lakes like Lac Pavin and enjoy a picnic, a bit of sunbathing, trout fishing or refreshing swim before you continue on to some of the "most beautiful villages in France" like Lavaudieu, Arlempdes and Tournemirc. Below the earth's surface the volcanoes of central France are responsible for producing the hottest thermal waters in all of Europe, which you can experience for yourself at the spas of La Bourboule, Vichy or Chatelguyon or learn all about them at the Museum of Thermal Springs and Geothermal Science. No matter how you choose to spend your holiday, the peaceful expanses of Auvergne, still unknown to mass tourism, guarantee plenty of opportunity for relaxation.
