Surrounded by the Chaîne des Puys volcanoes and Massif Central forests, Clermont-Ferrand is one of the oldest towns in France. It's home to a rich Gaul legacy, and was the starting point of the 1st Crusade to Jerusalem in 1095. Its name is a result of the fusion between the bishop-ruled town of Clermont and its neighbor Montferrand, created by the Auvergne counts to counterbalance the clergy.
The Chaîne des Puys is approximately 6 miles from the city and is composed of several volcanic cones and domes, with the Puy de Dôme as its highest point. Guesthouses, B&Bs and rural accommodations in Clermont-Ferrand’s outskirts allow you to enjoy these natural surroundings.
Its charming historic center includes the Gothic masterpiece of the Cathédrale Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption. The popular Place de Jaude has the statue of the Gaul hero Vercingetorix, sculpted by Frédéric Bartholdi, creator of the Statue of Liberty.
The city is also famous for the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival. Full of trendy shops, busy terraces, and great restaurants, the city has a laid-back rhythm. Take advantage of the Clermont-Ferrand hotel deals available on Booking.com and enjoy this charming Auvergne city.

Hotel le Lion is Clermont-Ferrant France is a convenient, lively, quiet, and just two stops away on a trolley bus from the Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival. The hotel has a great little cafe below where one can find a salad or a lively crowd. My room was quiet if a tight squeeze between the bed and desk and clean. The bathroom is modern. They offer a full breakfast but it is extra. There are shopping centers all around. I bought gifts at the nearby chocolatiers. The hotel employees were congenial and helpful. I would stay there again.

Very busy town.
Very busy town. Knowing French in this town is very important as many of the people do not speak English. Many great restaurants and cafes. Beautiful town square! You can walk anywhere in the town and there is also a tram which goes all over the town.

Decor is really nice, surprising design, very modern.
Decor is really nice, surprising design, very modern. Room was super nice, very comfy bed, very clean, bathroom was nice and I really liked the shower with the two types of showers fittings. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Really good having parking under the hotel. The only thing I didn't like was the pizza I ordered at the snack bar but when I told the hotel staff they listened seriously to my comments and said they'd be taking that off the menu. The restaurant and bar staff were very nice and efficient. I really liked this hotel and would definitely stay there again.

A very pleasant small city that had spectacular scenery and was close to the countryside. Only 5 minutes and you were in the volcano mountains with pastoral settings and lots of room. No traffic to speak of and clear and clean air.

Wish we had visited on another day as on a Sunday everything was shut. We went out to watch the football where France were playing and it was a real struggle to find any bars open showing the football.
“Great location, pretty hotel, super buffet breakfast, convenient parking. Hot tub was awesome after a long day of travel and walking. Nice view of volcano chain of mountains

“I was amazed this place was only 2 star, yes very basic but extremely clean. the hotelier was extremely helpful showing us a map and giving points of interest out, and she spoke English very well. Short walk to the old part of town and cathedral. Parking for the motorbike in a secure parking free of charge. Breakfast was very nice, all very fresh and great coffee!! Great powerful shower!! ”
