At Snail's Pace

Pat Crumly spent his time recuperating in Auvergne. While convalescing, he captured picture-perfect French village life.

Auvergne sits among breathtaking mountain ranges and dormant volcano peaks. The highest is Puy de Sancy in Monts Dore, where the Dordogne flows from.

The region still retains its agricultural activity, although it is facing rising costs and dwindling population, like everywhere else in the world. Auvergne is known for its great dairy produce.

You won't be disappointed if you are looking for special gastronomic experience. According to Pat, a five-course meal can cost around £25 per person. Worth trying is their strong peasant cuisine, such as poteé Auvergnate (pork with stuffed cabbage) and various cheeses.
