Cantal, Auvergne, France
A beautiful county in the heart of the volcano region. Not only famous for the cheese which is also called Cantal, but also for a stunning landscape of high rolling hills and steep rocky valleys and gorges crafted by rivers.
The Cantal has a low population density, with small farms dotted on the step hillsides, valleys, rivers and small country roads winding their way over the sleeping volcanoes..
This is a perfect destination for hikers and bikers and anybody who enjoys the outside life.
