The overwhelming nature of the Auvergne in France - 2
Auvergne is well-known for being "the heart of France", and consequently in the Puy-de-Dôme the weather is typically continental with four distinct seasons. Temperatures vary from about - 5°c to 5°C in winter and from 25°C to 34° C in summer. The winter is generally cold, the summer sunny and hot, the autumn and spring are mild except in the region of altitude. In winter, there are snowfalls very rarely in towns but on the peaks and in the countryside. http://www.auvergne-tourisme.info/uk/index2.php With is sprinkling of lakes and forests, Auvergne offers its visitors the largest group of volcanoes in Europe, Vulcania, the unique European Volcano Park, two Regional Nature Parks (the Auvergne Volcanoes and Livradois-Forez) more than 500 Romanesque churches, nearly 50 castles to visit along Historic Road of the Auvergne Castles and 10 spa towns.
The wealth and variety of the landscapes are perfect for many sport and leisure activities: hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, hang gliding, canoeing-kayaking, swimming, cross-country and downhill skiing or snow shoeing in winter. Auvergne also means delicious food and a fun, festive atmosphere in the friendly spirit of hospitality that is so typical of the Auvergnat people.
