オルナの天然記念物・トップ5

I went running in this beautiful forest inhabited by fairies, elves and the legend of Gargantua. The very tired giant sat on the sleeping volcano. His indescribable weight collapsed the mountain. Once he was satisfied, he contemplated his work and fell asleep. More than 25m high, this coarse-grained granite rock is also called "Rocher de Boisséjour" or "Rocher des Alpinistes". Climbing has been practiced for a very long time, but the invasion of the rock by vegetation made this practice impossible. Below the rock, at the foot of the large spruce tree, is a block of granite abandoned in the process of being cut (millstone) where the legend claims that it is Gargantua's bedside table?

The Parc de Montjuzet is the largest park in Clermont-Ferrand and is located on a small former volcano, from which it takes its name. The hill overlooks the city to the north, making it a privileged viewpoint over the city and its surroundings. Here you will find a garden with Mediterranean (Provencal cypress, umbrella pine, holm oak, olive tree) and exotic tree species (Chinese palm, various eucalyptus species, nothofagus, monkeys' despair). It also houses four beehives and a communal garden.

Nice place, take the opportunity to go up to Puy d'Anzelles which is right next door!!

The Puy d'Anzelle was once a vineyard but it has given way to nature. A little lower than the Puy de Baneil, it still offers beautiful views of the Clermontoise area, with the Puys chain in the background.

From the From the park you have a great view over the city of Clermont

The Puy de Bane above Cournon offers lovely views of the Clermont plain and the Puys chain

The Puy de Bane above Cournon offers lovely views over the plain of Clermont and the Puys range

The access is a bit rough from the plain, but you can get there by car and go around the plateau.
