Nowadays, Clermont Ferrand is a young and dynamic city. The old houses and cathedral built from volcanic rock are part of the “ville noire” (black town), with the Puys mountains forming an awe-inspiring backdrop. Its former rival, Montferrand, has renovated many of its 80 mansions, each with courtyards that are well worth exploring. With its superb cathedral, bold musée d'art Roger-Quilliot, and intense cultural life, the capital of the Auvergne is a city that is definitely on the move!
