France


In Ambert, in the Auvergne region, is the Collège saint-Joseph, our French partner. Ambert, a town of 7000 inhabitants, is situated in the hearth of the Regional Nature Park Livradois Forez. It is a mountainous landscape with a continental climate: very cold winters and short hot summers. A river flows through the Dore valley. This valley was born when two mountainous masses subsisded: the Forez and the Livradois Massifs; it is a town far from big cities such as Clermont-Ferrand (90 Km) and Lyon (200Km).
