Take a breath of fresh air in the heart of a geological feature unique in the world
It’s impossible to spend a vacation in the Puy-de-Dôme without discovering its volcanoes, especially the most emblematic of them all: the Puy de Dôme. These 80 volcanoes, which appeared some 11,000 years ago and have never slept (?), dominated by the Géant des Dômes (1,465 m), are France’s first Unesco-listed continental natural asset. It’s an immense territory of discovery for holidaymakers, sports enthusiasts, scientists and nature lovers of all stripes. And let’s not forget the key role played by the Observatoire des Sciences de l’Univers (Observatory for the Sciences of the Universe) at the summit of the Puy de Dôme.
To (re)discover this ‘Grand Site de France’ and its summit, home to one of the greatest mountain sanctuaries of the Roman Empire, the Temple of Mercury, there’s nothing like its hiking trails: there are 49 of them! The Tour de la Chaîne des Puys is a must (114 km), but the other trails are just as impressive, with their succession of exceptional panoramas of the Chaîne, its lakes, its coulees and its grandiose vistas: Clermont-Ferrand, Massif de Sancy, Plaine de la Limagne. The Puy de Dôme tour is very family-friendly, and can be completed in just 3 hours! Other ideas for budding hikers, trail pros or Sunday walkers: Autour du Puy de Mercoeur, Le Puy des Goules, Le Rocher du Salut, Le Chemin des Écoliers, Les Puys Chopine et des Gouttes…

Visit the must-sees and enjoy the activities in your Auvergne vacation rental
One of the must-see attractions in the Puy-de-Dôme region is the Château de Murol . Listed as a Historic Monument since 1889, this fortress takes you back in time to the Middle Ages and its knights: colorful actors, chivalry shows, true-to-life reconstructions…
Spending your vacation in the Puy-de-Dôme also means enjoying the pleasures of swimming. Less well known, the hydrographic heritage of this “French water tower” promises a host of aquatic pleasures. Waterfalls, rivers, springs and lakes shaped by volcanic activity are just waiting for you! Don’t miss out on the Lac de Chambon seaside resort: a nugget of raw water for family fun, just 5 minutes from your vacation rental in the Puy-de-Dôme!
After hiking, cultural excursions and swimming, how about a massage or relaxation session? That’s what awaits you in
Finally, no vacation in the Puy-de-Dôme is complete without sampling the region’s specialities (charcuterie and local meats, chickpea galettes, potée auvergnate, blueberry tarts, etc.) and the AOP cheeses of the Pays du Fromage region: Bleu d’Auvergne, Cantal, Fourme d’Ambert, Saint-Nectaire and Salers!
