A fabulous painting of great tectonic phenomena...

...the region offers plenty to learn about, simply by observing its majestic landscapes.
Since the 18th century, thanks to youth, the Chaîne des Puys is a proper laboratory for scientists all over the world. All the way to the Limagne fault and the Montagne de la Serre, great testimonies of continental rupture, the area is like a life-size book of volcanology!

Exceptionally well kept...

...thanks to management and protection measures implemented over 100 years ago.
Nature is on offer to you from the doors to the hotel, and the setting does all it can to help us protect it. Numerous sign-posted walks enable you to explore our superb landscapes. Inside and out, there are many activities on offer to enable you to discover this gem.
