Located in eastern Auvergne, the Livradois-Forez Regional Nature Park covers three départements: Puy-de-Dôme, Haute-Loire and Loire. Today, with a population of over 103,000, it comprises 163 communes and 4 associated communes, including Ambert, Billom and Lezoux, La Chaise-Dieu and Thiers. These compact, dynamic urban areas are only minutes away from hiking trails. But also ski slopes and mountain lakes. What’s more, they all boast magnificent historic centers that are well worth a visit.
