Today I will take you to the Auvergne region, right in the middle of France. Here are three quick facts about this region.
Auvergne is known for its mountain ranges and dormant volcanoes. Together the Monts Dore and the Chaîne des Puys include 80 volcanoes.
The French government headed by Marechal Petain moved to Vichy after the German occupation of Paris.
Clermont-Ferrant is famous for being the home of Michelin Tyres.
The film I recommend today is Les Choristes, realised in 2004 was mainly shot in Auvergne during the very hot summer of 2003.
