Lake Chambon

Highlight • Lake

Lake Chambon owes its origin to a volcanic flow that obstructed the Couze Chambon. Beaches are set up on the northern and western parts of the lake but it is possible to go around it to enjoy the calm of nature on the southern banks.

Lac Chambon

Highlight • Lake

This lake is of volcanic origin and is located in the town of Chambon-sur-Lac. Two beaches have been developed for swimming and water sports.

A path allows you to go around it. Portions on stilts allow you to follow the shore of the lake passing through marshy areas.

The circumference of the lake is 3.5 kilometers.

Saint-Nectaire

Highlight • Historical Site

Notre Dame du Mont Cornadore or Church of Saint-Nectaire is celebrated among other things for its treasure and its 103 capitals, in particular those of the choir forming one of the most remarkable sets of Romanesque sculpture in Auvergne.
These historiated capitals were like an open book offering the faithful a form of monumental catechism.
Saint-Nectaire is also well known for its cheese which takes the same name as the village. It is to my taste one of the best French cheeses.
