Pontgibaud
Bordered by the River Sioule and the lava flow from the Puy de Côme, Pontgibaud is a place where history and nature come together. Visit the Château Dauphin and the Silver Mining Museum, which bear witness to the rich past of this market town, once one of the main towns in the County of Auvergne.
