Spring was late starting in the Auvergne this year like it was all over Europe. Much more snow on the mountains much later than usual.
But, as usual, once the sun comes out, you can appreciate the view of the snowy mountains whilst sitting by the pool in a t-shirt and shorts.
The air is always very clear in spring, so long as it’s not raining or foggy, so the view of the mountains 60 miles away is fabulous – you can almost count the skiers!
