Auvergne
Located at the heart of France's hexagonal territory, Auvergne is a sparsely populated land of volcanic plateaus and large valleys. Unlike the Alps to the east or the Pyrénées to the southwest, its highest peaks reach only 6,000 feet above sea level and are free of snow in summer. The local authorities efforts to safeguard the environment have made Auvergne one of the last protected zones in Europe.
