It may be one of France's least known and most sparsely populated areas, nevertheless Auvergne is a region that promises fun, adventure and plenty of opportunity to escape the hectic pace of modern life. Our spacious holiday homes in Auvergne give you the chance to unwind at the spas of Vichy, first made famous by the letters of the Marquise de Sévigné, then head out for an exciting day of mountain biking or perhaps even a hot-air balloon ride over one of many volcanoes, something Auvergne is famous for.

High times and a holiday home in Auvergne
Not only is the Auvergne region sparsely populated, with most of its area given over to forests, grasslands and a unique fauna, but more than half of its towns and villages are perched atop the mountains of the Massif Central. Our wonderful holiday homes in Auvergne provide you with the chance to enjoy the mountain adventure of a lifetime, hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing - even hang gliding from volcanic massifs. The area is also perfect for ramblers. Those interested in pursuing their adventure more as a spectator than an active participant can take one of several cable cars to the highest peaks in the region, or view them from the lofty heights of a hot-air balloon. With its heavy snowfall in winter, the Massif Central also means fantastic skiing at resorts like Super Besse and Super Lioran. What are you waiting for? Book now and let the adventure begin!
