France: Auvergne, les chateaux

Auvergne is a region of unspoilt beauty, home to one of the largest protected nature reserves in Europe. Its 109 springs have produced magnificent spas including the famous mineral water Volvic. Its 80 green-covered volcanoes lend it an otherworldly feel; it might be 6,700 years since the last of the red-hot lava flowed, yet they are still classified as dormant rather than extinct. The most famous is the Puy de Dôme.
