From Auvergne to Quercy
Freshly released, the “Chamina” guide, from Clermont-Ferrand to Cahors.
- Auvergne, a volcanic region in the heart of France, welcomes you with its spectacular landscapes, natural parks and historic towns. Clermont-Ferrand, its capital, is dominated by the majestic black lava cathedral. Visitors can explore dormant volcanoes with these crystal clear lakes.
- Quercy, a historic region in the southwest of France, is renowned for its hilly landscapes, its medieval villages like Rocamadour and Saint-Cirq-Lapopie and its prehistoric caves. This territory, crossed by the Lot river, also offers a rich gastronomy, including truffles and foie gras.
This route takes all or parts of 3 existing cycle routes:
The Via Allier, from Cournon-d’Auvergne to Brassac-les-Mines.
The GT2V, from Massiac until joining the Lot towards Port d’Agrès.
The Lot Valley, from Port d’Agrès (Flagnac) to Cahors.
