The small village of Laschamps, southwest of Clermont-Ferrand, is known, among other things, for the Laschamps geomagnetic event. The lava flows from the extinct volcanoes have provided evidence that the Earth's magnetic field reversed about 40,000 years ago. This phenomenon has also been demonstrated in other parts of the world. Very exciting!
