Auvergne by the people who live there.
Travel in Auvergne isn't an institutional website. It's a digital media, set up by locals who share their best addresses and their favourite spots.
Our mission
Showcasing the people who keep Auvergne going: restaurant owners, hoteliers, craftspeople, mountain guides.
Our scope
The 4 historic départements of Auvergne: Puy-de-Dôme, Cantal, Haute-Loire, Allier.
Our method
A strict selection, a firm editorial voice. Hand-picked.
Why Travel in Auvergne?
Auvergne deserves a voice that says “this restaurant, we really do go there”, “this hike, the sunset is worth the walk”, “this village is pure calm”. An editorial selection, with taste.
We started on Instagram with @travel_in_auvergne. This site is the natural extension: a place to find everything we share, organised, searchable, mapped.
Our editorial commitment
- No place makes it here without our approval. Either we know the place first-hand, or we've cross-checked several trusted sources.
- When we like something, we say so. When we don't, we leave it out. No cheap shots, and no fake enthusiasm either.
- Partnerships are disclosed. When a place hosts us, it says so in black and white on its page.
Travel in Auvergne is free
The site is free for you, the reader, and it will stay that way. If you book a place to stay or an activity through some of the links on the site, it helps us fund it at no extra cost to you.
