Clermont-Ferrand is located a little south to the centre of France. This town of approximately 137,000 inhabitants is nestled between mountain ranges. The city has not retained much of its medieval charm, but the monuments housed here continue to attract visitors.
Summer, which is sunny and pleasant, is the best time to visit Clermont with the average temperature at 25°C. Spring, with an average temperature of 14°C, is also pleasant but slightly chilly. Winters in this area can be quite harsh and cold, with considerable snowfall.
More than 2050 years old, Clermont is one of France’s oldest settlements. Clermont flourished rapidly first under the rule of the Romans and later under that of the Church. In the eighteenth century, it was combined with a neighbouring town called Montferrand to form the city of Clermont-Ferrand.
