One large nature park
Auvergne covers the northern part of the Massif Central. The region is home to a number of extinct volcanoes. Consequently, the landscape is dominated by mountain ranges with craters, lakes and rivers nestled in between. This beautiful, unspoilt countryside is dotted with chateaux and pretty villages.

An ideal winter break
Winter in Auvergne is just as lively as the summer months as the mountains turn into ski slopes and hot water springs provide a relaxing means to wind down. Those wary of heights will be pleased to know that cross country skiing is still the most popular activity. Beware though, because whilst the climate is very pleasant in the summer but can be very cold in the winter.

A safe haven
Auvergne is largely an agricultural region but tourism is gathering momentum and is rapidly becoming one of the region's key industries. Auvergne is known for its peace and quiet and has one of the lowest crime rates in the whole of France.

 

Property prices and travel to the region
Relatively few foreign buyers have installed themselves in Auvergne but with cheap property prices, this looks set to change. There are no international airports in the region. Clermont-Ferrand does have an airport but it is only used for domestic flights. The nearest airports with regular UK services are Rodez, Lyon and Limoges. Lyon and Limoges also have TGV train stations.

Department Guides to Auvergne

ALLIER PROPERTY GUIDE   MAP
Parisian and international buyers are only just beginning to see the immense potential this department has to offer with its rich Bourbonnais history. It is a peaceful department and has an economy which revolves mainly around agriculture and tourism.

CANTAL PROPERTY GUIDE   MAP
The volcanic and mountainous Cantal department, producer of the infamous cheese, is great for those with a sense of adventure and a love of the outdoors.

HAUTE-LOIRE PROPERTY GUIDE   MAP
The Haute-Loire is the perfect antidote to the bustle of everyday life. The department is steeped in its medieval heritage and relics of its religious past. Volcanic landscapes give way to rolling fertile plains in which you will find some of the quaintest villages in France. The higher than average prices for the region are arguably justified by the physical and cultural variety that the region has to offer.

PUY-DE-DÔME PROPERTY GUIDE   MAP
The agricultural Puy-de-Dôme department is home to some breathtaking landscapes. Visitors will be struck by its contrasting scenery with volcanic mountain ranges overlooking rich pastureland and lakes. Despite its increasing popularity, properties here still represent real value for money.

 

Town Guides to Auvergne

AMBERT PROPERTY GUIDE   MAP
The town of Ambert, which lies to the south of central France, in the Auvergne region, benefits from a landscape of exceptional natural beauty. Ambert is in the very heart of the Parc Naturel Régional Livradois-Forez. This superb environment makes the town an absolute haven for nature lovers, walkers, cyclists and horse-riders.

AURILLAC PROPERTY GUIDE   MAP
The town of Aurillac is the capital of the Cantal department in southern central France. Little known in comparison with many other departmental capitals, Aurillac is nevertheless a very attractive and vibrant town with an interesting history and a thriving economy. It lies in the wonderfully fertile and green rolling countryside of Cantal on the Massif Centrale.

BELLERIVE-SUR-ALLIER PROPERTY GUIDE   MAP
Bellerive-sur-Allier is a market town which lies on the edge of the famous spa town of Vichy, in central France. Somewhat overshadowed in the guide books by its larger and more famous neighbour, the little town is nevertheless a very pleasant place which offers some quality property at reasonable prices, and benefits from both its proximity to Vichy, and its more rural and attractive surroundings.

CLERMONT-FERRAND PROPERTY GUIDE   MAP
The university town of Clermont-Ferrand, situated in the southern part of central France, is a lively and forward-thinking university town. One of the oldest cities in France, dating back to around IV BC, the city today is a thriving and vibrant centre of industry and learning, with a confidence that comes from an assured knowledge of its place in history.

GANNAT PROPERTY GUIDE   MAP
The town of Gannat lies in the centre of France, in the volcanic region around the Massif Centrale. Less well known than its famous neighbour Vichy, Gannat is easily found from the A71 auto route, and is an interesting town which hosts a fabulous international festival of folklore every year.

ISSOIRE PROPERTY GUIDE   MAP
Issoire is a lively market town in central France, in the heart of the Auvergne region. The town has a renowned abbey church, which is well worth a visit, but there is much more to Issoire than just this. The town has an attractive southern feel, and offers visitors and residents plenty to do and see, with its excellent bars, restaurants and shopping facilities.

LE PUY-EN-VELAY PROPERTY GUIDE   MAP
The town of Le Puy-en-Velay, which lies in southern central France, is an ancient town which has long been an important stage on the pilgrim road to Santiago de Compostela. Le Puy-en-Velay has also had its own importance as a pilgrim town. This is due to the bronze statue of the Virgin which adorns the top of one of the volcanic peaks which dominate the town. It has attracted many pilgrims and proved an important factor in the town's rise to prominence.

MONTLUÇON PROPERTY GUIDE   MAP
Situated in Northern Auvergne, near the border with the Limousin and Centre-Val-De Loire, Montluçon has a population of just over 40,000 people. For years it has been the economic driving force for the whole Bourbonnais area and has learnt to adapt to the changing market needs of the 21st Century.

MOULINS PROPERTY GUIDE   MAP
Moulins is an historic town far enough off the beaten track to mean that very reasonable and attractive properties can be found.

VICHY PROPERTY GUIDE   MAP
Vichy is a famous spa town whose elegance and cultural heritage make it a fascinating place to visit, or indeed in which to live. Property here should prove a good investment as Vichy remains a popular destination with the fashionable set.
