Aydat

Among the communes of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Aydat stands out for Lac d’Aydat, the largest natural lake in Auvergne. It lies amid the volcanic terrain of the Chaîne des Puys, where lava flows from Puy de la Vache and Puy de Lassolas dammed the Veyre valley to create the lake. This volcanic chain forms part of the UNESCO-listed Chaîne des Puys–Limagne fault tectonic arena, recognised in 2018. The Romanesque Church of Saint-Sidoine provides a historic landmark in the village, while the lake is used for walking, swimming and non-motorised water sports in season.
