Why choose Clermont Ferrand for your road trip
Clermont Ferrand — a city worth exploring
Clermont-Ferrand sits at the heart of the Chaîne des Puys, a UNESCO-listed chain of 80 volcanic domes that shaped the city's skyline and its distinctive dark lava-stone architecture. The Cathédrale Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption, built entirely from local Volvic stone, rises in striking black against the green plateau. Wander through Place de Jaude, the bustling main square, before heading to the Musée Bargoin for its remarkable collection of pre-Roman textiles and archaeology. Families enjoy the interactive exhibits at Vulcania, a volcanology theme park just 15 km north-west. For a rewarding day out, the Puy de Dôme summit — reachable by the Panoramique des Dômes rack railway — offers sweeping views across the Massif Central. Vichy is only 56 km to the north, while the medieval town of Issoire lies 36 km south, making both easy additions to any touring itinerary. The surrounding roads wind through open volcanic plateaux and forested valleys, with plenty of well-signed laybys and service points suited to larger vehicles. Hiring a campervan or motorhome through Yescapa connects you directly with local owners in the Auvergne area, so you benefit from insider tips on the best routes and overnight spots. With a campervan as your base, you can explore Clermont-Ferrand at your own pace and set off into the volcanoes whenever the mood takes you.
Best time to visit
Clermont-Ferrand comes alive from May to September, when the volcanic landscapes are at their greenest and outdoor activities are in full swing. The Festival International du Court Métrage in February draws film lovers from across Europe, while the Europavox music festival in late June fills the city with live performances. Summer is the most popular season for campervan travel, so booking your hire on Yescapa early gives you the widest choice of vehicles from local owners at competitive peer-to-peer prices. Autumn in Clermont-Ferrand brings golden colours to the Chaîne des Puys and quieter roads — ideal for a relaxed motorhome tour through the region.

This was an excellent campervan for our party of 4 adults (and can easily sleep 6). Everything we used in the van was great and worked well. The large fridge/freezer and awning was helpful. Toilet and shower worked well. João was great throughout the whole process. He was really quick and helpful in all his communications before the trip, and during check-in he was really thorough with explaining all of the van's systems (even though we didn't speak Portuguese). We had a minor accident, and João was very reasonable and fair about the repairs. All together a very good experience, thank you!
