A journey back in time: The birth and life of AUVERGNE's VOLCANOES

Here, for the first time, the birth and history of Auvergne's volcanoes are visually recounted, using images of active volcanoes shot specially at on-site locations throughout the world. Discover the most beautiful sights of Auvergne volcanism: the Chaîne des Puys, Limagne's Buttes, the Cézalier plateau, and the Cantal and Mont Dore mountains. Animated sequences give detailed explanations of the geological principles behind the formation of a cone, dome, maar and strato-volcano. Images taken from active volcanic eruptions are applied to understanding the formation of Auvergne's unique volcanic province, making this film a valuable and exciting pedagogical tool, closely linked to the marvels of the natural world.
