DISCOVER AUVERGNE, ITS CULTURE, AND ITS HERITAGE

A historic site full of character just a short distance from Le Clos

From Le Clos Auvergnat, set out to discover the rich heritage of Auvergne at the gateway to the Sancy Massif. With its medieval villages, ancient volcanoes, and local craftsmanship, Tauves and its surrounding region offer an authentic and rejuvenating cultural experience. Here is a selection of our top 3 picks for exploring the true spirit of Auvergne.

Vulcania and the Lemptégy Volcano

This is the perfect combination for exploring our volcanoes as a family, no matter the season. Just 45 minutes away, you can choose between immersive 3D experiences and a descent into the heart of an open crater; these two exceptional sites offer a unique geological experience.

Murol Castle

This is the favorite attraction for kids (and adults alike). This fortified castle overlooks the entire valley and transports you right back to the Middle Ages. In the summer, the jousting shows and guided tours led by costumed guides are exceptionally well done. It’s so lively, you really feel like you’re there, and the view from the ramparts is superb.

The medieval village of Besse-et-Saint-Anastaise

Just 30 minutes from Le Clos Auvergnat, the medieval village of Besse-et-Saint-Anastaise is one of the most beautiful villages in Auvergne. Its narrow streets paved with Volvic stone, its Renaissance houses, and its 12th-century Romanesque church transport you to the heart of Auvergne’s heritage.
