Auvergne, Cultural region in central France.
The landscape features dormant volcanoes called chaîne des Puys, with the highest peak Puy de Sancy reaching 1,886 meters in elevation point.
The region takes its name from the Arverni tribe, who controlled this territory during the Roman period under their leader Vercingetorix.
The regional gastronomy centers on cheese production, with specialties including Cantal, Saint-Nectaire, and Bleu d'Auvergne from local dairy farms.
The territory connects through a network of rivers including Loire and Allier, with a regional airport located in the city of Clermont-Ferrand.
The Forest of Tronçais stands as the largest oak forest in Europe, while volcanic stones form the distinctive black cathedral in Clermont-Ferrand.
