Boudes is a small charming village
tucked away with 250 inhabitants. It is situated at an altitude
of 450 meters. The south hill is entirely occupied by the vineyard. |
|
|
The village is dominated by an extinct volcano, the Pic de l'Avoiron that reaches a height
of 727 meters.
The village keeps some traces of his ancient fortress and
his romane church, of which the door has been classified "monument
historique". |
Other curiosity at about 2 kms of the village : the Vallée
des Saints, sometimes nicknamed the Colorado Auvergnat. |
|
In a valley, you can see vertical clayey columns offering a palette
of diversified colors : from pink to violet and from yellow to
red. |
These strange forms continually sculpted by the erosion look
like a monks pilgrimage, from which comes the name of this place.
You can also uncover ferruginous water sources. |
