Discover Kyriad Clermont Sud La Pardieu and Surroundings

A very natural walk, with the Gergovie plateau as a highlight; a compendium of curiosities and history, and a great lesson in regional geography, thanks to the ever-changing views along the way. Of particular note is the puy de Mardoux, a geological curiosity dominating a landscape marked by the civilization of the vine. Departure point: Car park near the square on rue Marcel-Magard, off the main rue de la République / Romagnat Difficulty: 400m ascent from Pérignat; 315m from Romagnat, but a gradual climb with no difficulties.

The GTMC-VTT, from Clermont-Ferrand to Volvic. The GTMC mountain bike route continues from Clermont-Ferrand (historic start of the GTMC mountain bike race) to Volvic. From Clermont-Ferrand, the historic departure point for the GTMC mountain bike race, you gradually gain altitude as you head towards the Chaîne des Puys and its 80 volcanoes. Under the gaze of the impressive Puy de Dôme, you'll discover a variety of landscapes, from a 2,000-year-old town to sunny hillsides planted with fruit trees and vines. The route ends in chestnut woods and volcanic cheires, with their chaotic vegetation and morphology. All along the way, the mountain biker's attention is irresistibly drawn to the volcanoes. Volvic, famous for its water and volcanic stone, is the finishing point of this stage. Departure is from Clermont Ferrand railway station. We climb gently up to Place Delille, which we cross before plunging down in front of a large secondary school to follow a long straight line. From set of traffic lights to set of traffic lights, the MTB GTMC takes us to the tarmac slope leading to the Col de Bancillon (alt. 551m). A short but steep descent on a farm track takes us to the Blanzat sports complex. We have to find a passageway to cross it and then climb back up to Blanzat on tarmac. Superb trails through fruit groves and meadows to the village of Malauzat. From Malauzat, we climb through a chestnut grove that takes us right up close to the Chaîne des Puys. Playful, relatively easy trails.

Plateaux, puys, the Allier river: a condensed version of nature just a stone's throw from the big city.

Clermont-Vulcania is a great challenge, offering a fascinating progression from the Clermont basin to the volcanoes of the Chaîne des Puys. You won't have time to visit Vulcania this time, but during school vacations a bus will be waiting from the parking lot to take you back to town. Departure: Clermont-Ferrand Cathedral, Place de la Victoire, direction "Durtol" / Durtol, direction "Vulcania". Alternatively, take the special bus from Clermont or Royat up to Vulcania and walk back down. Special Clermont-Vulcania-Clermont bus from 01/07 to 31/08, then on request during the spring and autumn vacations 48 hours in advance. Difficulties: Long but gradual ascent.

What a symbol, and what a challenge for any good walker: to "do" the Giant of the Domes in just a few hours from the heart of the city! A handful of kilometers and a long but gradual ascent, with a return trip by bus most of the year. So give it a try and you'll be able to say: I did it! Departure point: Clermont Cathedral, Place de la Victoire, direction "Chamalières" / Square de Verdun, Chamalières / Thermal district, Royat. From the summit of the Puy-de-Dôme, take the cogwheel train (fee payable) back down to the Maison du Site, then return to the town by special bus. Special bus (01/04 to 30/09) from Maison de Site to Clermont station; stops in Royat. Difficulty: The overall height difference between Place de Jaude and the summit of Puy-de-Dôme.

A new way of discovering Clermont and the surrounding area, with a unique blend of city and countryside. Possible departure points: "Les Vignes" or "La Pardieu" streetcar stations. Numerous other possibilities from any point on the route network. Difficulties: Steep ascent from Ecole d'Architecture, Chamalières high school to Cote du Bey.

Royat, the starting point for beautiful walks between town and nature; the route takes in pleasant paths between old villages and new districts that encircle the town. We're on the edge of a fault here, but apart from the gradual ascent between the spa and Gravenoire, this loop is within the reach of as many people as possible. Start: Place Allard, Royat, up the tiretaine Difficulty: Ascent between the Royat cemetery and the D5 Parking recommended at the grotte des laveuses; difficult parking in the center of Royat, especially during the spa season.

The route takes in three ancient winegrowing villages, where the marks of the winegrowing past are still very present in the landscape. It's a great walk for everyone, with the volcanic mounds of Montrognon and Chomontel, and radiant views over the town and surrounding mountains. Departure point: Place de la Résistance near the town hall. Alternative parking recommended at the Artenium (accessible via the traffic circle on the D2089). Difficulty: Ascent between Clémensat and the summit of Montrognon. Short but steep and slippery descent in wet weather from Montrognon to Les Montants.

We arrive at "Paradis", the highest point in Royat-Chamalières, to admire the Royat spa from above and Clermont-Ferrand in the background. The Limagne fault runs through here, marking the boundary between the volcanoes and Limagne.

The “tonne” is the local name for this small building built in the middle of the vineyard and used for the vine growing business.Often built on a traditional model, some of them nonetheless have original features. The “tonne de vigne” is the local name for this small building built in the middle of the vineyard, formerly used for storing tools and as a shelter during the harvest. The tonne could also accommodate a vat room for storage and fermentation of the freshly crushed grape must. Certain tonnes were re-purposed to be used as dovecotes. The tonne de vigne often follows the same model: a square construction with a single-pitch lean-to roof, covered with hollow terracotta tiles. Some original tonnes deviated from this model. For example, the Chareiron tonne in Châteaugay was built from stone and in the form of a cone. The same is true for the tonne close to Rue des Torts, in Pérignat-lès-Sarliève, with a hip roof covered with slate and enhanced with a terrace opening up onto the vines. Some municipalities restore these tonnes that are often left derelict, such as Cournon-d’Auvergne, which has restored this tonne and Romagnat which has implemented a shared vineyard at Puy de Chomontel. Private initiatives have also been taken to preserve these buildings, particularly on Puy de Montaudoux in Ceyrat. Musée de la vigne et du vin, 24 avenue Jean Noëllet in Aubière, recounts the history of the vineyards of Basse-Auvergne and its expertise, from planting to the winemaking process.

Designed at the end of the 1960s, the Cézeaux campus has rewritten its history since the 1980s, placing emphasis on contemporary architecture. The Cézeaux campus is situated on a basalt plateau today surrounded by the town. It was designed in the late 1960s by the architect Eugène Beaudoin (1898-1983) in charge of the university development of Clermont. The project included teaching buildings, a library, a restaurant and student housing. The historic architects are Daniel Badani, Jean-Louis Douat, Antoine Espinasse, Paul Lanquette and Pierre Roux-Dorlut. At this time the campus was built on the principle of architectural and functional austerity according to a rational plan and a system of work industrialisation. A factory for prefabrication of the construction materials was set up on site. The campus has sculptures corresponding to the development of the site in the 1970s. A few examples: La dématérialisation (1972) by Francis Pellerin (1915-1988), Murs-Fontaines (1972) by Ervin Patkaï (1937-1985), and Silhouettes formant un réceptacle à l’enseignement dispensé par la Connaissance (1978) by Michell. Since the 1980s, the campus has rewritten its history, placing emphasis on contemporary architecture: Polytech (architects Bresson, Ondet, Berthon and Collet); the Laboratoire de Physique Corpusculaire (Paris-based architects Brenac and Gonzalez); The Institut National de Recherche en Sciences et Technologies pour l’Environnement et l’Agriculture (IRSTEA, architect Hauvette and Atelier 4) with its plant-based shell made from maple trees; the Institut Français de Mécanique Avancée (IFMA, architects Ameil and Jalicon) which proposes a shape evocative of the world of industry; the Laboratoire Magmas et Volcans (architecture firm Groupe 6, Hallé) with unstable volumes like moving magma.

A protected site, the dry hillsides of Cournon d'Auvergne formed by the Vaugondières plateau and the summit of the puy d'Anzelle are home to a remarkable ecosystem resulting from a long agricultural history and a sheltered microclimate. To the north of Cournon-d'Auvergne, the Vaugondières plateau and the summit of the puy d'Anzelle constitute a natural area of around 50 hectares protected by an arrêté préfectoral de protection de biotope since 1992, and included in the Natura 2000 network. This network expresses the European Union's desire to preserve natural or semi-natural sites of great heritage value, due to the exceptional flora and fauna they contain. The site's rich animal and plant life is the result of a long agricultural history and a sheltered microclimate. The site is monitored and managed by the French League for the Protection of Birds. A special agricultural history At the end of the 19th century, the plateau was covered in vines. Phylloxera and mildew forced farmers to uproot the vines. The vines gave way to lawns grazed by sheep. A fauna and flora characteristic of dry grasslands then developed. Maintained by sheep until 1960, today's dry grasslands are preserved by man to prevent the colonization of shrubs and undergrowth. A little corner of Provence in Cournon-d'Auvergne The area enjoys a sheltered microclimate due to the Foehn effect. Clouds are held back by the relief of the Sancy and Puys massifs, so rainfall is low, but is also rapidly absorbed by the marl-limestone soil. This, combined with the south-facing slopes, creates a warmer climate. As a result, the flora and fauna are typical of Mediterranean regions. Nearly 270 species of flowers have been recorded, some of them protected for their rarity. 54 species of butterflies and nearly 30 nesting birds have also been inventoried.

The winemaker’s house is testimony to a previously prosperous business : vine growing From the second half of the 19th century, it changed to reflect the economic and social success of wine makers. The winemaker’s house is testimony to a previously prosperous business in Aubière and on all the hillsides of Limagne from the Middle Ages to the 19th century: vine growing The region has two types of winemaker houses. The first type is the traditional winemaker house located in the village centre. A narrow construction, it houses both the business premises and the living quarters: a vat room for pressing, fermentation and conservation of wine on the ground floor, a single room for living on the first floor, accessible via an outside staircase, and an attic beneath the roof. The second type of house was developed in the second half of the 19th century, at the height of vine growing. It reflected the economic and social success of the winemaker. These houses, a series of which can be found on Rue Chambon, are more imposing and generally have an extra floor for living quarters. They use Volvic stone for the window and door frames, storey separation panels, cornices and corner quoins. They have balconies with guardrails in metalwork or cast iron. They also have courtyards and technical buildings that give the residence a certain professional dimension, focused on the exclusive and important business of wine production. Musée de la vigne et du vin, 24 avenue Jean Noëllet in Aubière, recounts the history of the vineyards of Basse-Auvergne and its expertise, from planting to the winemaking process.

With over 900 caves, Aubière bears traces of a vine growing business that was once significant in the region. These caves fashioned outside the village were perfectly suited to storing wine. Aubière has more than 900 caves, over an area of 3 hectares, intended mainly for storing wine. They are located outside the village due to the closeness of the water table which prevents them from being built beneath the houses. They are hollowed out on hillsides, the door placed downstream, with variable depth of several metres in order to reduce staircases and handling operations. They are vaulted to withstand the weight of the earth covering them. Buried in this way, they maintain a constant cool temperature of 10° C and high humidity, which is favourable to wine making. The caves are ventilated by a ventilation duct with an outlet at the surface. After the arrival of phylloxera in the late 19th century, the wine growing business shrank drastically and many caves were reconverted for cheese ripening, including for Saint-Nectaire. At the peak of the district is a cinder block edifice, the former Savaron cheese dairy housing an extensive network, over several levels, created by connecting former caves. Enthusiasts from the ASCA association for saving the Aubière caves have been working for several years now to protect them. Aubière has two other cave sites: Caves de la Croix de l’arbre, Rue Pasteur under Plateau des Cézeaux, and the Petites Caves, Rue de Pérignat, also under Puy d’Aubière. The Musée de la vigne et du vin (wine museum), 24 avenue Jean Noëllet in Aubière, recounts the history of vineyards in Basse-Auvergne and their expertise, from planting to the wine making process.

The Place des Ramacles owes its name to a story dating back to the Middle Ages until the 19th century, from the era of fiefdoms to the peak of vine growing. Aubière used to be divided into two fiefdoms, one belonging to the counts of Auvergne and the other to the bishop. The village fort outer wall, identifiable on the land register, encompassed the château and the church. Its remains are still visible: at the end of Rue Voltaire (Porte des Ramacles), Place des Ramacles (ditches), Place du Roudet (wall), and a very strange alleyway known as “manhole” which joins Rue Voltaire via Impasse Beauvert. The property of the lord of the manor, the Ramacles were a vast and humid plateau planted with willow trees, alders or poplars, between the outer wall and the Artière. Once a year, the Baron of Aubière authorised the residents to do “remailles”, meaning to cut all the branches of the willow or alder trees. “Remaille” led to remacle(s), then ramacles, hence Place des Ramacles. The houses, built against the ruins on the north face of the Place des Ramacles, had no outlet on the square. In the early 19th century, for more direct access to their vat rooms and caves, winemakers opened their houses onto the south by building several staircase bridges. They were built without municipal authorisation, above the reach of the stream, used as a washing station, running along the walls. Through legal means, in 1819 the owners obtained the right to keep these bridges, “provided they maintained the washing stones for public service and permitted and facilitated at all times their use through convenient surroundings.” They were later named “ramaclés”. Only four of them remain today. A commemorative fountain can be found: la fontaine de l’amitié (1969), in tribute to the Americans who came from the 55th artillery regiment to the town, in 1918 (sculptors: Fernand Auteroche and René Fontanel).

The Pérignat-lès-Sarliève town hall is located in a château whose origins date back to medieval times. Nearby is a former 11th century chapel. In the Middle Ages, the château belonged to the lords of Pérignat, but changed hands several times over the centuries, and in 1609 became the property of Guy Durant, tax collector in Clermont. His coat of arms can be seen above the main door to the château. His descendants remained owners of the château until 1940. The château, its out-buildings and the park were acquired by the municipality in 1953. The town hall moved there in 1976. The château’s keep dates back to the Middle Ages. Its extensions date back to the Renaissance and the 17th century. The château features two right-angled corps de logis. In the corner, a stairway tower leads to the various floors. The watchtowers initially placed at the corners of the building are indicative of the size of the château before it was extended. They also indicate the defensive nature of the medieval château, as do the embrasures either side of the door to the courtyard. Nearby, the former chapel dates back to the 11th century. The facing building was constructed on an elongated layout comprising a nave and a choir with a semi-circular apse. In Romanesque style, the side walls and the upper part of the belfry are interspersed with arched bay windows. After the construction of Église Saint-Michel (1869-1870), the former chapel was decommissioned and housed the town hall from 1870 to the early 20th century. It then became a support structure for local associations.

Completed in 1945, the Clermont-Ferrand train station is an example of modernist architecture. It has Architecture Contemporaine Remarquable (remarkable contemporary architecture) status. The first train station in Clermont-Ferrand was inaugurated in 1855 for goods transport and passenger travel. An entire new neighbourhood was created to the east of the historic centre of Clermont-Ferrand and urban planning created wide avenues leading to the station. A new parish (Saint Joseph), businesses and hotels completed the development. But the only parts remaining of this first station are the side lodges. The present-day station was completed in 1945. It was the SNCF architect-engineer Paul Peirani who designed it, based on the model for the station at Le Havre (1929-1931) by architect Henri Pacon. The building is an example of modernist architecture with wide bay windows for maximum lighting in the entrance lobby, refined and simple lines, and an emphasis on light. The entrance lobby is decorated with enamelled lava stone by Jean Jaffeux. The clock tower is a recurring feature in train station architecture, since it is a symbol of punctuality and speed. The Clermont-Ferrand train station was awarded “Architecture Contemporaine Remarquable” (remarkable contemporary architecture) status in 2023. Since thermal spa resorts were becoming popular in the 19th century, it became important to establish train connections with them. Royat was connected from 1886 after the construction of a huge viaduct in 1881. Previously, spa visitors left the train at Clermont-Ferrand and finished their journey by horse and carriage. This is what Napoleon III did when he visited Clermont-Ferrand and Royat in 1862.

Designed at the dawn of the 20th century, the Jeanne-d’Arc high school is the first high school for girls in Clermont-Ferrand. The building makes the very most of the land layout, and features an eclectic style with a blend of influences. Jeanne-d’Arc high school is one of the finest examples of school construction from the Third Republic, an achievement of architect Jean-Joseph Teillard (1854-1915). Construction began in 1896 and was completed in 1899 in the new neighbourhood created when the Clermont-Ferrand’s train station was opened in 1855. First of all, it housed the girls whose education had been entrusted to nuns until 1880. The high school had a U-shaped layout surrounding an interior courtyard closed by a gate that used to overlook the terrace gardens. The rational layout of the buildings depends on their intended destination (administration, student buildings, etc.) and their use (classrooms, dormitories, etc.). Its style is eclectic, its influences include Romanesque (semi-circular arches), Regionalist (materials), Byzantine (minaret) and Nordic (stepped gable). Its materials come in varied shapes and colours: brick, glazed brick, limestone for the supports, glazed terracotta for the decorative features and cast iron. Above the entrance door, on the Avenue de Grande-Bretagne side, the bust of Joan-of-Arc is the work of sculptor Henri Gourgouillon (1858-1902). To the west is the former Petit Lycée for boys, an annex of Blaise-Pascal high school. It has been an integral part of Jeanne-d'Arc high school since 1950. In neo-Classical style, it is the last work of the architect François-Louis Jarrier, built between 1878 and 1880. Its H-shaped layout gives a façade on three levels, with an additional central wing housing the chapel. The walls are made from coated quarry stone and the corner quoins and window frames from Volvic stone. It is an example of a school built just before the Ferry laws in France (establishing free education then mandatory and secular education). It is inspired by a model evocative of the former Collège de l’Oratoire in Riom (17th century).

The present-day Église Saint-Rustique is a 19th century church built on the foundations of a much older building. It is decorated with mural paintings. The current church was built in 1838 on the bases of a former church, whose presence could be traced back to the 5th century, since Saint Rusticus, priest of Aulnat, who became the eighth bishop of Clermont, was buried there in 446. An 18th century shrine containing the remains of Saint Rusticus is displayed on the altar of the south aisle. In the 19th century, the inhabitants of Aulnat called upon Aymon Mallay (1805-1883), departmental architect for the Puy-de-Dôme region, to proceed with the reconstruction of the building which was in disrepair and had become too small. He had previously worked on several other religious buildings in the Auvergne region, including the cathedral and Notre-Dame-du-Port in Clermont-Ferrand. The Roman choir was preserved with its two capitals, and to preserve harmony, Mallay proposed a neo-Roman project (1837) with buttresses, semi-circular arch openings and a barrel-vaulted nave. The octagonal bell tower was built in around 1840 and its steeple was redone in 1900. In 1889 the choir was decorated with a mural painted by the artist Maurizio Belli, representing the Trinity. The Chapel of the Virgin was adorned with a mural by the painter Louis Dussour (1905-1986), former Director of the École des Beaux-Arts in Nice. It represented the litanies of the Virgin Mary, her prayers. The stained-glass windows are the work of the master-glassmaker Raphaël Lardeur (1890-1967). The city features other neo-Roman religious buildings such as Église Saint-Étienne de Lempdes.
