Lake Chambon
Murol Castle

Château de Murol

It's the favorite visit for children (and grown-ups too). This fortified castle overlooks the entire valley and takes you right back to the Middle Ages. In summer, the knight shows and costumed guided tours are wonderfully done. It's lively, you really feel like you're there, and the view from the ramparts is superb.

Mont-Dore Aventures – Tree-top adventure

Just 30 minutes from Le Clos Auvergnat, in the century-old Capucin forest, Mont-Dore Aventures offers 8 courses suitable for everyone from 3 years old : zip lines, suspension bridges and guaranteed thrills for the whole family.
