Situated
on the verge of the Limagne "rift" east of the commune
territory, Berzet has kept a few vestiges of a rural past: a fountain,
a stone wash basin, an oven, a chapel and old houses.
Being
the nearest village to Clermont-Ferrand urban area as well as
a gate to the regional volcano Park, it keeps attracting new inhabitants
and hikers who appreciate the numerous footpaths and the spectacular
views they open towards the mountains of Forez, Sancy and Puy-de-Dôme.
One of the most frequented foot circuit leads from Ceyrat, through
a gorge, pass the Samson dolmen, up to the plateau on which Berzet
is nestled.
