The Cantal section of the Rhue, an Auvergne river whose source is near Super Besse, in the Auvergne Volcanoes Regional Nature Park, has a lovely surprise in store for nature-lovers.
Halfway between Condat and Bort-les-Orgues, you can see superb, verdant gorges with woodland-covered slopes, the Rhue gorges: a Natura 2000 site spanning over 1,000 hectares of extraordinary biodiversity, home to many protected plant species.
Ramblers will be able to enjoy their favourite pastime here along the footpaths. Drivers can also enjoy some lovely viewpoints by following the picturesque little gorge road along the river for ten kilometres or so.
