La Buse

Bring your bikes and/or boots, as there are plenty of places to get out for a cycle or a hike nearby. And maybe it’s an idea to pack your swimmers too, so you can take a dip in the Allier river or in the lake at Vernet-la-Varenne (15 minutes’ drive). There are gems under these landscapes, you know… and if you’d like to find out more about that, take a trip to Améthystes d'Auvergne - Les mines de Pégut (10 minutes) and/or Musée de la Mine de Brassac-les-Mines (20 minutes). Meanwhile, if it’s local animals you’d rather get to know, set your sights instead on Animal Park Auvergne (35 minutes). For other days out you may like to take a tour of Château de Parentignat (20 minutes) or Château de Villeneuve-Lembron (half an hour), or simply have a wander around local towns and cities like Issoire (25 minutes) or Clermont-Ferrand (55 minutes) to see what you can find.
