Vulcania, the European Park of Volcanism, is an educational Amusement park and museum with a volcano theme. Situated in Saint-Ours-les-Roches, Auvergne, France, 15km north-west of Clermont-Ferrand, it was officially inaugurated in 2002.
The project was the brainchild of French volcanologist, Maurice Krafft, who died at Mount Unzen in 1991. Krafft and his work had a great impact on the former President of France, Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, who pushed for the construction of the park while he was president of the regional council of Auvergne.
