Want to see the delights on the Auvergne? The splendid rural landscapes dominated by the extinct volcanoes plus stylish cities such as the spa town of Vichy and modern Clermont Ferrand. Auvergne Video << here Extracts from our light-hearted view of the Auvergne:
"In 52 BC, the advancing Romans ran into Vercingetorix, leader of the Gauls at the Battle of Gergovia. The Romans were soundly thrashed and were sent to bed without any tea. Retreating to the river Allier, they noticed the water's beneficial effect on tired, aching legionnaire limbs. They immediately downed spears and built Vichy as a spa town and health resort, thereby adding the leisure industry to their already impressive portfolio of ruthless colonialism and military innovation. Vichy is now home to the laboratories of beauty behemoth and skincare juggernaut L’Oréal. L’Oréal's famous slogan "Because I’m worth it" was changed recently to "Because you're worth it". L’Oréal's net annual revenue is about £12 billion, so they probably are worth it." More funny Auvergne revelations << hereProperty prices - like much of rural France - are relatively cheap.
