Castles and buildings
If you are a lover of history and buildings, you will be spoilt for choice. Numerous castles, romanesque churches, old simple -stone built- farms and barns dot the region. Many use the unique Honeycomb like black volcanic Volvic stone. A visit to the "Parc des Volcans" may take your breath away when viewed from the top of the "Puy-de-Dome" (1465m) with its roman temple, or peering down to a lake filling the crater of an extinct volcano. The VULCANIA attraction offers a unique experience. Auvergne is renounded for its many "gastronomique" specialities (available from local delicatessens or in restaurants) Its cheesesand and butchery are well worth sampling.
