A holiday to recharge your batteries in the heart of nature
Cantal is a paradise for nature lovers: volcanoes, mountains, grandiose panoramas, lakes, rivers... The landscapes have been shaped by volcanic activity and constitute a beautiful playground for hikers, cyclists and mountain bikers.


At the top of the Plomb du Cantal, the highest point in the department at 1,855 meters above sea level, you will be amazed by the exceptional panorama of the peaks of the Massif Central: Puy Griou, Puy Mary (Grand Site de France), Puy de Sancy. You can then reach the Super Lioran resort which offers outdoor activities in all seasons.


To cool off on a summer day, you will take the discovery trail of the Gorges de la Jordanne, 2 km laid out in a preserved natural setting. Fishing, motor boats, pedal boats, canoes, paddles: the shores of Lake Saint-Etienne-Cantalès are ideal for many activities. Not to mention swimming and lazing on the sand: and yes, you can even go to the beach!


Do you want to fly in the air? In a hot air balloon, paraglider, ULM or aboard an airplane, seen from the sky, the wonderful landscapes of Cantal take on a whole new dimension. And why not a wild flight, in a microlight or hot air balloon, among geese and cranes? To live this unforgettable experience, meet at Coltines Saint-Flour aerodrome.


Holidays under the sign of culture and heritage


La Maison de Massigoux is perched on the heights of Aurillac. The city is backed by the Cantal mountains and crossed by the Jordanne. Its shady banks, its square, its mansions, its century-old shops, the Saint-Géraud Abbey, the Saint-Etienne castle... Count on a good day to discover the attractions of the Cantal prefecture, which is also the French umbrella capital!


The Museum of Art and Archeology and the Museum of Volcanoes can complete the visit to the city center. At the end of August, alongside many spectators, you will settle in the public spaces of the city to attend the Street Theater Festival.


All around, beautiful villages will delight heritage enthusiasts. 25 km from your accommodation, wander the narrow streets of Marcolès, a medieval fortified town dating back to the 12th century. You can continue your journey in the Natural Park Volcanoes of Auvergne. About forty kilometers from your rental, a visit to Salers, famous for its cheese and its cow, will transport you to the Middle Ages and then to the Renaissance period.


In Cantal, the castles are part of the heritage in the same way as the volcanoes! From your vacation rental, you can easily get to the Château de Conros (Arpajon-sur-Cère 6 km away), the Château du Pesteil (Polminhac 15 km away) and the Château d'Anjony (Tournemire 23 km away).
