The Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region is located in the south-east of France. Auvergne and Rhône Alpes merged into a new region only recently, in 2016. The Auvergne part is the least populated of the two, only 2.5% of the French population lives here. Rhône-Alpes, on the other hand, is the second largest area in France, with about 6.2 million inhabitants. A large section of Auvergne is part of the Massif Central, ancient volcanic mountains stretching over nearly a sixth of France's total area. The name is derived from the Gallic people the Arverni of which Vercingetorix was king during the Roman invasion.
