Great route for the E-Mountain bike

Nice little place with a small supermarket, bakery and church.

La Tour d'Auvergne was once an impregnable fortress belonging to the house of La Tour d'Auvergne and whose castle was built on an ancient Roman tower. The castle has since given way to a peaceful village built on an ancient basalt flow, whose organs can be seen near the church. The Tour d'Auvergne is also under the protection of Notre-Dame de Natzy which overlooks the surrounding area a short distance from the village.

Gorgeous

The ford on this stream can be bypassed via the bridge located just next to it.

A magnificent castle lost in the heart of the forest

La Tour-d'Auvergne is a very old village which finds its foundations on a basalt peak, the vestige of a volcanic flow from the great volcano that was the Sancy massif. In the town you can admire the basalt columns to the left of the church. These are geological formations that result from the solidification of a basaltic flow shortly after its emission, which attests to the proximity of the volcanic crater.

Extremely calm place at the confluence of the Dordogne and one of its tributaries, at the most upstream point of the reservoir of the Bort-les-Orgues dam. Once at the bottom, you have to go back up and the coast towards Confolent-Port-Dieu offers a nice drop in altitude and fairly high percentages for lovers of short and dry climbs.
