Une région préservée au coeur de l'Auvergne
HAUTE-LOIRE, UNSpoiled Nature in the Heart of Auvergne
At the gateway to Auvergne, Haute-Loire is an authentic, preserved region that seduces with the richness of its landscapes and the simplicity of its welcome.
Here, wide open spaces reign supreme: volcanic plateaus, wild gorges, deep forests, rivers and characterful villages create an ideal setting for recharging your batteries.
The department is crisscrossed by numerous hiking trails, including the most famous: the Way of St. James, the GR470 along the Allier River, and the trails around the Loire Gorges. On foot, by bike, or by canoe, everyone can explore this natural heritage at their own pace.
Heritage lovers are not left out: La Chaise-Dieu and its abbey, Lavaudieu, one of the Most Beautiful Villages in France, or the Château de Polignac offer a journey through time through the valleys.
In terms of gastronomy, Haute-Loire relies on quality local products: Puy AOP green lentils, artisanal charcuterie, local cheeses, not forgetting specialties made with blueberries or verbena.
Here, tourism is on a human scale. No crowds, no stress: just the essentials. Whether you're passionate about nature, curious about heritage, or looking for a peaceful spot to reconnect, Haute-Loire welcomes you with simplicity and authenticity.
