Volvic

Guide of the Puy-de-Dôme

Travel Guide > France > Auvergne > Puy-de-Dôme > Volvic

The town of Volvic is known in French as the "town of stone and water" because of its special feature of buildings and fountains built in black lava and its famous pure and lightly mineralised spring water.

The Maison de la Pierre de Volvic occupies a hand-dug, underground former quarry in the heart of a lava flow at Puy de la Nugère volcano. This originally-designed cave exhibition tells visitors all about Volvic stone and water, the history of the site and the life of quarrymen at the end of the 19th century.

Also worth a visit are Les Sources de Volvic springs which have an information centre dedicated to the famous mineral water that filters through thick layers of volcanic rock.
