Photos of the Auvergne volcanoes, from Puy de Dôme to Puy Mary
The Massif Central is not just one volcano. The Chaîne des Puys aligns its cones around the Puy de Dôme and Puy de Pariou, the Monts Dore rise around the Puy de Sancy, while the Monts du Cantal unfurl their long ridges around the Puy Mary.
This collection brings together photos of Auvergne and the Massif Central taken from the summits, ridge paths, and volcanic lakes. The Puy de Dôme, Puy de Côme, Puy de Pariou, Sancy, Lac Pavin, Lac de Guéry, Brèche de Roland, and the Cantal valleys compose a set of very different landscapes, between regular cones, ancient craters, open plateaus, and relief marked by erosion.
Each Auvergne photo print is printed on demand on matte aluminium Dibond. This finish limits reflections and accurately renders the greens of the mountain pastures, the volcanic lines, the mists, and the changing light of the Massif Central.

The Chaîne des Puys and the Monts Dore
Around Clermont-Ferrand, the Chaîne des Puys offers a particularly graphic interpretation of Auvergne's volcanism. The Puy de Dôme dominates the cones of Pariou and Puy de Côme, while aerial views reveal the shape of the craters and the organization of the relief. Further south, the Sancy massif presents a more mountainous landscape, with steeper ridges, deep valleys, and lakes such as Pavin or Guéry.
The ridges of Puy Mary and the Monts du Cantal
In Cantal, the landscape opens up to long grassy ridges separated by glacial valleys. From the Brèche de Roland or neighboring ridges, the pyramidal silhouette of Puy Mary becomes the anchor point of the panorama. These photographs complete the collection with another facet of the Massif Central, more extensive and more rugged.
