Travel guide RKH Auvergne / Cevennes 7th edition 2020

Contents

Located in the heart of France, the Auvergne is also the most isolated region: rugged and barren plateaus with deep ravines, Romanesque churches and castles, small villages, natural river courses, thermal springs, waterfalls and rich flora and fauna. It is the ideal destination for those who enjoy being active, whether hiking, canoeing on the Tarn or Ardèche, climbing, hang gliding, fishing, cycling or skiing - and for anyone with an appreciation for the little wonders along the way.

This comprehensive guide takes you through the interesting places of the Auvergne: from Bourbonnais to Clermont-Ferrand, through the heart of the volcanic Auvergne, via Livradois-Forez and Haute-Loire, Aubrac and the Lot Valley, to the Ardèche and the Parc National des Cevennes. It is intended for travelers who want to get to know the Auvergne and the Cévennes on their own and, with 29 walks, six cycle tours and numerous other tour suggestions, it gives active people and nature lovers plenty of ideas to explore the varied landscape of central France. In addition, there are detailed excursions about the history, the country and the people.

Each chapter begins with a double-page spread that introduces the content with an overview map of the region, highlights, and page references. Of course, the travel guide contains proven and practical tips on travel problems from A to Z. The extensive foreword contains overview pages with descriptions of all regions, an annual overview of festivals and events, route suggestions and personal top tips from the author. Lots of special information, for example about how to get there and about the wide range of activities available, are useful aids in planning. A small travel vocabulary in French helps to get in touch with the residents.
