WELCOME TO
the UNESCO centre

You’re entering the UNESCO centre for the
Chaîne des Puys-Limagne Fault
world heritage.”

This centre demonstrates that we have, in our scenic department, a natural jewel whose Outstanding Universal Value makes it of international importance.
You will discover the long-drawn-out process undertaken to obtain this recognition, as well as its scientific basis.

And above all you can see the powerful drive that this represents for a region such as ours which, far from being cut off from the outside world, contains a rich diversity of activities run by people living both within the Chaîne des Puys and elsewhere in the department.

Enjoy your visit here and have an excellent time exploring the Puy-de-Dôme.
