A different type of tourism in Natural Parks

Are you looking for a "different" type of tourism? Natural Parks combine ecotourism and sustainable tourism. The tourist activities on offer at the Parks are based on strong values: environmental quality, civil responsibility, openness and sharing. In this way, travelling regains its full meaning: a true meeting with a region, its history, its culture and its people.

At the heart of these changing regions, this is different tourism, imbibed with meaning and values, with rich encounters and exchanges awaiting you. Through these pages, we invite you to discover "Park itineraries", our "discovery holidays", the "Panda" Gîtes and "Our selection" for sites and activities to help you discover the Natural Parks of the Massif Central.
