The Auvergne Volcanoes Regional Park lies in the heart of France. Not only have the volcanoes shaped the landscape, they have also supplied the stone that the villages, farms and churches and built from.

For centuries, this highly singular landscape dictated human activity. Yet its geological nature went unobserved until the 18th century. It was not until 1752 that a scientist discovered the volcanic origin of the region’s rounded mountains - a discovery that was to change the way the locals viewed their environment.
