Aydat, Mountain commune in Puy-de-Dôme, France.

Located in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, Aydat stretches across 150 square kilometers of varied terrain with elevations ranging from 620 to 1142 meters.

The geological formation of Lac d'Aydat occurred approximately 8,000 years ago when volcanic activity created a basalt flow that shaped the current landscape.

The Romanesque church of Saint-Sidoine, constructed in the 12th century, stands as a testament to medieval architecture in the Auvergne region.

The Lac d'Aydat, spanning 65 hectares with depths reaching 15 meters, provides opportunities for swimming, sailing, and fishing throughout the year.

The commune contains several volcanic peaks, including Puy de Montjuger, Puy de Charmont, and Puy de Combregrasse, forming part of the Chaîne des Puys formation.
