The Massif Central: a characterful destination in the heart of nature

There's nothing like a place you can put your own stamp on for some relaxation. As the seasons change, so does the Massif Central, providing a series of landscapes each more breathtaking than the last. Many travellers visit their holiday rental in the Massif Central every year to brave the volcanoes, to hurtle down snowy slopes, to enjoy local specialities or to learn more about the cultural heritage of the region. Covering an area the size of Austria, the Massif Central is in the centre of France, mainly in the Auvergne region

One must-see destination in the region is the Chaîne des Puys with its 80 volcanoes. These are key sites for geological phenomena caused by continent break-up. Do you know what makes the Cantal Volcano unique? It's the biggest volcano in Europe, covering almost the entire Cantal department! Absolutely amazing. Many other volcanoes make up the region, including Puy de Sancy (1885 metres), the highest in the chain. Various activities are possible, like skiing and hiking. What's the unmissable resort in the Massif du Sancy? Super Besse!

The Massif Central is famous for its food. You will have heard of the local cheeses: Cantal, Fourme d'Ambert, Saint-Nectaire, Salers and Bleu d'Auvergne. During your stay in the Massif Central, don't forget to try the traditional local dishes:

  • Salivate over a Truffade made with Cantal Tomme fraîche cheese. This is a delicious and very hearty dish!
  • Start your meal with Pounti, a tasty bacon and prune terrine.
  • Share a Cantal Tomme fraîche tart with friends
  • A must-try is Aligot made with Auvergne Cantal Tomme fraîche cheese and mashed potato.
  • And for those who aren't afraid of anything: try Tripoux d'Auvergne. We'll let you see for yourself what this tripe dish has in store...
