Issoire is a charming town in Auvergne. The town is now labeled “Most Beautiful Detour of France”. Admire its Saint-Austremoine abbey church which dates from the 12th century, or its Clock Tower. at the bend of an alley you will surely come across a reach which irrigates orchards and gardens in the city center.

The Lac de Bourdouze is located at an altitude of 1170 meters, in the Massif du Sancy. You can get a good view from the road, and if you want to get closer you can, but it will be on a gravel road. You can access the lake year-round, but it freezes during the winter months.

Standing south of the historic center, the belfry of Besse is the only memory of the three old fortified gates of Besse. Adorned with battlements and topped with a clock, the gate dates from the Hundred Years War. The gate is an essential historic passage on the long-distance hiking trails that criss-cross the region.

The center of Besse is teeming with old buildings built in Besse stone, quite similar to Volvic stone. This is for example the case of the belfry and the gate which are defensive structures dating from the 15th century.

Like all fairy chimneys, this column owes its existence to a block of rock that protected the softer sedimentary rocks on which it was placed from erosion. Here the rock that caps the column is a mass of lava projected onto clay soil during a volcanic eruption.
