For buying and selling property in Auvergne
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.
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.
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.
Relatively few foreign buyers have installed themselves in Auvergne but with cheap property prices, this looks set to change. There used to be no international airports in the region, but Clermont-Ferrand now has seasonal flights with Flybe. The nearest airports with regular UK services are Rodez, Lyon and Limoges. Lyon and Limoges also have TGV train stations.
