The La Monne River winds through the Gorges de la Monne, offering a scenic hiking experience along its clear, rushing waters. You will be charmed by the gentle sound of the river flowing over rocks and small waterfalls, surrounded by lush vegetation. The trail takes you close to the water's edge, where you can enjoy peaceful spots to take a break or even to cool off on a hot day.

Lots of development on the edge of Allier, tarmac path or wide stabilized track. But some playful and very nice singles survive!!!

The Château de Saint-Saturnin, in Puy-de-Dôme, is a medieval fortress built in the 13th century by the La Tour d'Auvergne family and subsequently became a royal residence for Catherine de Medici and Marguerite de Valois. You can explore the impressive architecture and beautiful gardens of the castle, as well as the charming village of Saint-Saturnin, which has a Romanesque church and offers panoramic views of the Monne valley. The castle is open for guided tours from April to September, and you can also stay overnight in one of the guest rooms or suites.

Aydat Lake owes its formation to a lava flow that obstructed the passage of the Veyre. It is the largest natural body of water in Auvergne, and various aquatic activities are offered with a bathing area and the possibility of going around the lake.
