/// 01. IDENTITY & HISTORY

Land of volcanoes and high plateaus, Auvergne has a harsh and authentic identity. Its isolation has forged a tenacious character and a unique capacity to create global innovation (Michelin) from a landlocked territory.

The R3 project frees Auvergne from Lyon's supervision to allow it to play its own part.
