An unpublished journey through a parc of sculptured monuments in Volvic stone by Gilles Perez. Randomly arranged: some are very visable, others are not, encouraging the visitor to venture into the woods and follow the markers to discover them.

The Fais'Art path surrounds the Puy de Beaufort, a volcanic site at an altitude of 900 m which contains the remains of a Gallic and then medieval occupation. Sculptures have been placed along the path since 1992. Some are very visible, and others are more or less camouflaged in the woods.
The excitement of discovery, the search for the next sculpture, a setting between forests and plains, everything comes together for a breath of fresh air and a plunge into art with grandiose sculptures,

Opening times
