Worth seeing church.

Beautiful lake and raised moor

A very beautiful, little-known lake

Renowned for its perfectly circular shape, Lake Chauvet is what we call a maar (lake of volcanic origin) typical of the region.

If you want to enjoy stunning views of the village of Saint-Genès-Champespe and its surroundings, you can hike up to the Saint-Sébastien church, which is perched on a hill overlooking the village. Built in 1907, the church is decorated with a bronze sculpture of a Salers cow, a local breed. From the church you can enjoy a panoramic view of the forests, lakes and mountains of the Auvergne region. You can also see Lake Laspialade and Lake Crégut, two magnificent lakes. It is an ideal place to admire the natural beauty and cultural heritage of Saint-Genès-Champespe.

Too bad that the only refreshment point reported nearby is closed

Rather rolling gravel track (there is a small part of bitumen in the middle) which offers a magnificent panorama of the summer pastures with the Monts du Cantal on the horizon. Access from the col de chamaroux is a little more technical in gravel but it is quite playable. The reward at the top is a postcard landscape!

A picnic table at the entrance to the hamlet, then overlooking the waterfall. You can access the waterfall on foot only, but there is a very nice view from above too.
