This is one of a series of books which provide detailed route descriptions of some of the most popular walking areas of Europe. Centred around the main towns in each region, the books advise on accommodation, transport, money, clothing, and food and wine. The mountains of the Auvergne are among the best walking regions of France, well-known for their beauty and ease of access from across Europe. A fine network of paths helps to make walking enjoyable, whether for short rambles or more challenging cross-country routes. The 30 circular walks in this book are based around Murat, Vic-sur-Cere, Thiezac, Saint-Flour, La Bourboule, Saint-Nectaire, Besse-en-Chandesse and Orcival.
