Auvergne

France

Auvergne, a region in central France, shares 330 connections with 1760 other places across 25 topics. Sports accounts for the largest share, driven by ASM Clermont Auvergne rugby club, which has drawn players from South Africa and Georgia. History forms the second cluster, including Louis XIV's 1665 criminal tribunal held at Clermont and Le Puy-en-Velay to address noble abuses. Auvergne's folk music tradition, centered on the cabrette, a goatskin bagpipe, adds a distinct cultural thread. Paris, France and London, England both carry many shared connections.
