A unique estate in the heart of wild Auvergne in Cantal

Welcome to Lac des Estives

Situated at an altitude of 1,220 metres on the Cézallier plateau, Lac des Estives welcomes you to an exceptional natural setting in the heart of the Auvergne Volcanoes Regional Natural Park. On the border between Cantal and Puy de Dôme, our estate enjoys an ideal central position for discovering the treasures of Auvergne: volcanoes, lakes, vast open spaces, and charming historic villages.

In a preserved environment: between high summer pastures, rolling hills, and breathtaking panoramas, the landscape evokes both the Scottish Highlands and the vast Mongolian steppes. Facing the Sancy Massif and the Cantal Mountains, you are at the edge of the world… without leaving France.

Stroll around the lake bordered by firs, cedars, and rowan trees; let yourself be soothed by the sound of the river; admire the sunset over the water; and savour a Zen-like, timeless atmosphere, far from the hustle and bustle of the modern world.

An incredible place to gather In the Heart of Nature
