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.

Extraordinary panoramic view of the Puy chain to the Cantal mountains

Created in 1874, Fenestre Park is one of the oldest botanical parks in France. Located on the left bank of the Dordogne, the park is 850 meters above sea level! The garden is home to nearly 250 varieties of different plants. At the entrance, you will not be able to miss the four giant sequoias which measure 45 meters in height and 10 meters in diameter. For children, playgrounds are available. Note that some games are free and others are paid. More information at: https://www.parcfenestre.com/.

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.
