Moving to the Auvergne

Interesting article about Moving to Auvergne from the suite101.com site. Extract here:

"Auvergne is called the Green Lung of France and is made up of two departments (Puy-de-Dome and Cantal) as well as parts of departments in neighbouring regions. The overlap comes from the modern-day Auvergne being larger than the region it once was.

Auvergne is a tourist attraction for its natural beauty. It is the home of the European Volcano park, (Vulcania) and live volcanoes are hard to resist when it comes to sightseeing. Auvergne is not, however, overly popular with expats, and those who do relocate here are strongly recommended to learn passable French before they arrive as there is no base for English-speakers. While this can make expats feel somewhat isolated at first (figuratively and literally – Auvergne is not the most accessible region in the country) there are benefits."
