Local activities in and around Marcillat en Combraille, Limousin/Auvergne
The Auvergne, in the heart of the Massif Central has superb countryside and wildlife - rushing rivers, leaping chamois and swooping peregrine falcons, yet all the familiar pleasures of holidaying in France are here too - even beaches. Many of the lakes have mini 'rivieras' with safe swimming and unlimited watersports. There is also an abundance of lovely old towns to explore, some with castles and medieval lava stone houses like Besse. In the summer, many of these towns echo with the sounds of street theatre, classical, rock, jazz, and world music during festival week. Other attractions include the elegant spas like Vichy which offer casinos, fitness centres and fine dining.
Just as well there are so many opportunities for action in Auvergne, as it's a foodie's paradise. Scrumptious and plenty of it, is the theme. Robust local dishes like pork with Puy lentils and Potee Auvergnate, full of streaky bacon, sausage, potato and cabbage, make great eating after a day in the mountains. There is fine beef from Salers, Aubrac, and Charolais cattle, and no fewer than five appelation controlee cheeses - Cantal, St-Nectaire, Bleu d'Auvergne, Salers and Fourme d'Ambert. For pudding, there's Auvergnat Apple Pie, Bilberry Tart, Fougasse - a delectable local brioche - and exquisite wild raspberries.
Many of the best wines are made in too small a quantity to be well-known abroad. From the Cotes d'Auvergne, try Corent, Boudes and the appealingly named Chateaugay. From the Bourbonnais, there are the brilliant dry whites and the light, fruity reds of Saint-Pourcain are also well worth tasting. One thing is for sure: whether you're dining in a top restaurant or eating at a country fete, it's hard to resist the region's rich, traditional flavours.
