Activities and discoveries around Camping Huttopia Royat

Departing from the spa town of Royat, a short, multi-faceted day trip. You'll discover a variety of landscapes, from the Tiretaine valley to the Royat state forest, crossing pastures and moors that stretch out at the foot of the Chaîne des Puys. Beautiful paths and views in prospect! Departure: - By car from Royat, in the Grotte des laveuses parking lot on the banks of the Tiretaine below Avenue de la Vallée. - By bus from Place Allard up the Tiretaine (5mn) - From the "Tiretaine" directional mast, take the stairs to "Puy de Chateix". Difficulties: Long hike, but very gradual ascent.

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.

On this walk, you'll follow the impetuous little river La Tiretaine, which rises near La Font de l'Arbre, not far from the Puy de Dôme, and disappears into the underground world of Clermont-Ferrand.

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.

Immerse yourself in the volcanoes of the Chaîne des Puys. A two-day hike that will delight tourists and locals alike, because there are some landscapes you just can't get enough of! Green stopover at the Montlosier gîte, headquarters of the Parc des Volcans. The gîte d'étape de Montlosier is open from 01/05 to 30/10 (27 places in rooms for 4 to 10 people, with restaurant facilities). Departure point: Grotte des laveuses parking lot, Royat, towards "l'Arboretum" via the chemin des écoliers / Breuil stadium parking lot, Royat, towards "l'Arboretum" via the chemin des écoliers Day 1: Royat to Montlosier via Manson and Laschamps (19.3 km). Day 2: Montlosier to Royat via Fontfreyde, Saint-Genès-Champanelle, Ceyrat (20.2 km).

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.

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.

We start by climbing into the forest overlooking the stream. Arriving at the Redon farm, the Puy de Dôme is right in front of you. On the way back, we descend into the wild Artière valley, past boulders including the Samson dolmen. 1 - After 300m, at the foot of a gigantic scree, take the path on the left. It climbs gradually above the valley, into the forest; through the trees you can see Ceyrat and Clermont Fd. 2 - Turn left and continue until you reach marker 3. 3 - Turn right. View of the Gergovie plateau and Montrognon; a little further on the right, you can see the hamlet of Berzet. As you leave the forest, which has been replaced by meadows, the view opens up and the climb is almost over. Go around an anti-vehicle barrier and straight across the Redon farm (watch out for dogs!). After the farm, don't take the path to the left, but continue along the wide track. 4 - Take the right-hand track, which changes direction from south-west to north-west, with a view of Puy de Dôme. Leaving a track coming from the left, go straight ahead until you reach the gate of the INRA research center; at this point, turn sharp right, heading northeast. The path begins to descend. Immediately after crossing it, take a narrower path to the right on the left bank of the river, altitude 815m, a sign reads "Mairie de Ceyrat 4.5km". Follow this path to marker 5. 5 - Take the steep, descending path on the right: "Ceyrat 3.6km", descending towards the Artière; new crossroads under the trees: turn right, continuing downhill. Footbridge over the Artière: from left bank to right bank. The river looks like a torrent, amid the rocks. You arrive at the foot of the Samson dolmen: a huge slab of rock that looks as if it has been carved by man. At a ford, we cross back over to the left bank and discover a gigantic octopus, the work of Breton sculptor Francis Berninca. Crossing a new bridge over the Artière, we walk back along the right bank to the huge scree slope of the outward journey; from here, the path remains the same until we reach the parking lot.

A charming path winds its way through the gorges of the Artière, carved out of the Dômes plateau. Pines and chestnut trees, rooted in the maze of rocks, climb up to the Berzet plateau, where there are fine views of Gergovie, Montrognon and Limagne.

Bargoin park was designed based on an English-style garden, featuring picturesque elements. In its centre sits an 18th century building, formerly the country house of the previous owner of the estate. In 1868, Jean-Baptiste Bargoin, a pharmacist in Clermont-Ferrand, bought the Bellevue estate from the Onslow family. Bargoin and Henri Lecoq made their fortune with the invention of "Gland doux", a drink made from acorns, rye and chicory. On his death in 1885, Bargoin bequeathed the property to the Conseil Départemental du Puy-de-Dôme for use as a public park. He imposed drastic regulations, which are still in force today. The Bargoin park opens onto the wider landscape. It is designed on the model of an English garden, where nature, deceptively wild, is reinvented by man. The winding paths vary the views and reveal picturesque elements: the chalet, the bandstand, the dovecote, the pond, the statues, the Semeuse (sculptor Jean Ossaye-Mombur) and the Faune. In the center, the Pavillon de Bellevue (18th century) was Bargoin's country home. The tower of the two brothers, resembling a fake ruin, evokes the memory of his sons, Jocelyn and Edmond, who died young of phthisis. The park covers more than 7 hectares, with 800 trees of 60 different species, including hundred-year-old redwoods, cedars of Lebanon and Ginkgos Biloba. Excerpt from the park's outdated but protective regulations: - Carts are prohibited. - Luxury cars may enter the park, but parking is prohibited. - Refreshment stands and cafés of all kinds are strictly forbidden, to ensure that the park doesn't turn into a "guinguette". - Music is permitted in the park on weekdays and Sundays, but any kind of strolling music is strictly forbidden.

As important places of remembrance, the chapel of memories and the war memorial in Royat feature remarkable architecture which earned them places on the historic monuments registry. In 1921, the municipality asked sculptor Raoul Mabru, from Royat, to propose two models for a memorial monument dedicated to the victims of World War I (1914-1918). It surveyed the inhabitants for the choice of one of the two models. The monument was completed in late 1924 and inaugurated on 26 April, 1925. In 1927 it was awarded the Mège award by the Clemont Académie des Sciences, Belles Lettres et Arts (Academy of science, literature and the arts) as the best sculpture of the past five years. It was designed based on the model of a Burial of Jesus. The soldier in the middle, represented as a tomb effigy, is watched by two groups sculpted using in the round technique. At his head are his wife and child, and at his feet his parents dressed in traditional Auvergne dress, namely overalls and flat hat clasped against the chest for the father, and the fluted bonnet for the mother. The regional representation accentuates the dramatic effect. Through the position of the bodies and the facial expressions, the artist manages to express the immense pain of the characters and to elicit emotion. The chosen location was opposite the new cemetery, on a small promontory where a neo-medieval chapel stands, built in 1876 to accommodate the remains of French soldiers who had died in the hospitals at Royat, and to pay tribute to the native soldiers of Royat who had died in the Franco-German war of 1870. Known as “chapelle du souvenir” (chapel of memories), it displays its dedications on the tympanum above the entrance door and on plaques affixed to the façade. Individual and collective commemorative plaques are displayed inside. The monument and chapel have been listed on the historic monuments registry since 2019.

Gothic sculpture in Volvic stone, built at Etienne Iveyrt's expense in 1486 (inscription in Gothic letters). Knocked down and mutilated during the French Revolution, it was hidden in a barn by a resident of Royat. In 1841, Abbé Védrine, Royat's parish priest, decided to have the calvary restored. The mutilated crosspiece was restored to its original state. To enhance the sculpture, he purchased a pedestal in Aulnat, in a style similar to that of the cross.

Église Saint-Léger, listed on the historic monument registry, is a 12th century building around which the old village of Royat is organised. The crypt dates to the 10th century with a 12th century nave and fortifications. This fully-restored church is notable for the rectangular shape of its apse.

There are several caves opening along the river Tiretaine, formed by volcanic eruptions, including the “grotte des laveuses” (cave of the washing ladies). Some of them had some very unusual uses. The Tiretaine valley in Royat has inspired many artists whose paintings are displayed in the Roger-Quilliot art museum in Clermont-Ferrand. Painters often chose to depict the river, the mills along it and the Église Saint-Léger overlooking it (Charles Théodore Sauvageot, Léon Fleury, Paul Huet, Théodore Rousseau). Charles Taylor and Justin Nodier, in the volume devoted to Auvergne in their book “Voyages pittoresques et romantiques dans l’ancienne France” (1829), depict the Grotte des Laveuses (cave of the washing ladies) under the priory of the Église Saint-Léger. It formed in the basaltic lava flow coming from the Petit-Puy-de-Dôme during eruptions in the Quaternary period. A blister of steam formed under the flow and was trapped after the lava cooled. The Tiretraine river bed was carved out, thus forming the cave. The cave is 30 metres long, 10 metres wide and 3.5 metres high. Seven springs flow from there. The cave appears to have been certified “national heritage” in 1949 at the request of the municipality. It still houses the remains of a washing basin. Other caves open along the Tiretaine, including the neighbouring Siméoni cave. It houses the spring that supplied the famous Amboise fountain in Clermont thanks to the work performed by the 16th century Florentine engineer Gabriel Siméoni. The famous Grotte du Chien (dog’s cave), located close to the railway viaduct, is known for its carbon gas emanations and mofettes. Odourless CO2, lighter than air, occupied the lower part of the cave and thus caused dogs to be asphyxiated, as explained by the guides to their visitors. The poor animal would then be replaced by a candle. The cave is now closed to the public.

In the 19th and 20th centuries, the former Majestic hotel and lodge boosted the reputation of the spa town.They offered wealthy bathers and their esteemed guests the most modern luxury and comfort. After the Grand Hôtel was built, spa visitors had accommodation on site, but also were housed as far away as Clermont in wooden huts, eastern-style tents or rooms improvised in grain stores, according to Émile Thibaud, master glassmaker and son of the mayor of Royat. From 1874 onwards, land located along the cliff opposite the spa was purchased in order to build hotels. It ran along Boulevard Vasquez . The visit to Royat of the Prince of Wales, the future Edward VII, on 27 July, 1884, led to a form of Anglomania that lent itself to the names of hotels, including Hôtel Majestic, Royal St-Mart and Royat Palace. The Grand Hôtel Majestic was built between 1861 and 1864 by Madame Neuville, then purchased by Léon Servant and extended from 1876 to 1911. Construction of this building in brick and stone in neo-Louis XIII style was the work of architects from Clermont (Nicolas Mourton) and Paris (William Klein, Albert Duclos and Ernest Mizard). Once successive renovations were completed, the hotel featured 300 rooms and 50 apartments, all with private bathrooms. The hotel featured the latest technical innovations including lifts and electric lighting from 1891. The interior was decorated in luxurious style. In 1912, the architect Mizard built the Majestic lodge, an Art Nouveau-style annex to the hotel. The two buildings are listed on the historic monuments registry. The hotel's guests included the Goncourt brothers, Alexandre Dumas the son, the Prince of Wales, Émile Zola, Bartholdi, Félix Faure, Armand Peugeot, and Belgian King Léopold II, François Mauriac, the Sultan of Morocco, Pierre Laval, Marshall Pétain and General De Gaulle.

The Eugénie drink stand was more than the icon of the thermal spa, it was the embodiment of spa treatments (it also appeared in the Asterix story “Asterix and the Chieftain’s Shield”). The “large spring” discovered in 1843 was named the “Eugénie spring” following the visit of Napoleon and the empress in 1862. The drink stand, which for a long time was a simple stone-edged well, was developed in 1872 and surrounded by a circular cast-iron counter sheltered under a cast-iron kiosk. In 1913, Auguste Rouzaud, director of the spa, commissioned the Clermont-based architect Louis Jarrier to embellish the spring. Jarrier designed a glass bell-shaped cover that was worked like a piece of silverware. The new counter was coated with flamed sandstone and opaline. In 1938, the municipality planned to extend and embellish the thermal spa and commissioned Antoine Chanet and Jean Liogier, architects from Vichy, to work on the drink stand. They replaced the kiosk with a tholos (a circular Greek temple) made from reinforced concrete, enhanced with a water mirror. The columns and bays of the tambour were reminiscent of those of the spa resort and provided a certain harmony. The outer edge of the drink stand was decorated with Greek ceramic mosaics, as were the decorative elements of the counter, designed by Gentil and Bourdet. To echo this, the former building housing the spring, adjoining the drink stand, covered with simple wood trellises, was replaced by a lodge with a resolutely neo-Antique style (four Doric columns, an entablature, a pediment and semi-circular bays). In the 1980s the building housing the spring accommodated the new channels for the Velléda spring, and became the “Pavillon Velléda”. Today the spa water is used for exterior body treatments and is no longer ingested.

The park stretches from the town of Royat, along the Tiretaine river, and serves as a backdrop to the spa's architectural heritage (thermal baths, bars and casino). In the lower part of the spa park, you'll find the thermal baths built in the 1850s and the casino, two buildings that contribute to Royat's rich architectural heritage. During your stroll, you'll have the chance to admire the remains of the Gallo-Roman thermal baths discovered in 1876, as well as the buvette Eugénie with its bluish mosaics. It was named in honor of Empress Eugénie and her husband Napoleon III, who visited the thermal baths in 1862. In the upper part of the park, the "geoscope", an educational circuit, lets you discover local geology through rock samples scattered around the park, as well as children's play areas. How to get there : - By car: parking rue de la grotte - By bus: ROYAT Place Allard stop (lines B, 5 and 26)

The Royat-Chamalières train station originated during the spa boom. Its style is in keeping with typical rail station architecture of the Third Republic. Until the Royat train station was built, spa visitors left the train at Clermont-Ferrand and finished their journey by horse and carriage, as Napoleon III when he visited Clermont-Ferrand and Royat in 1862. With the growing success of spa resorts, it became necessary to open new railway lines. Three sections were built to serve these spas: Vichy from Saint-Germain-des-Fossés in 1862, Le Mont-Dore from de Laqueuille, added to the Clermont-Tulle line in 1899 and Châtel-Guyon via Riom in 1912. Decided in 1880, Royat train station was inaugurated in 1886, after the construction in 1881 of the viaduct on the Tiretaine valley. Bathers then arrived from “all four corners of the world” to enjoy the benefits of a thermal cure. The station was the work of Jules Martin, assisted by the engineer Colin. The style of the station was in keeping with typical rail station architecture of the Third Republic, both functional and picturesque. The façade featured a central building with two storeys and three bays. The first storey with wide segmental arch openings, preceded by an atrium window, looks onto the lobby where the ticket offices are located. The second storey houses the station manager’s quarters. The interplay of materials - brick and limestone - is evocative of the architecture under Louis XIII. The hip roof is laid with slate tiles. The train station has been on the historic monuments registry since 1994.

Built in the 19th century, the spa is the centre-piece of the Royat-Chamalières resort. The only spa town in the metropolitan area, the Royat-Chamalières spa developed at the outlet of the Tiretaine valley, below the ancient village of Royat, close to the springs. In the make-up of a spa town the spa is the central monument of the resort, close to the springs. The spa was built between 1852 and 1856 by Agis-Léon Ledru (1816-1885), an architect from Clermont, also the designer of the baths at La Bourboule. It was built at the edge of route 5 leading to Clermont, and today has been converted into an alley in the park. The spa town is connected to the Clermont-Ferrand town centre via the centre of Chamalières, through the tunnelling in 1878 of the current Avenue de Royat. Ledru designed a building made from arkose, considered one of the first spas to have a central gallery and a hall with spacious, bright and airy spaces. On either side two wings are reserved to the west for men and to the east for women. The Antiquity-inspired façade features ionic columns at the top of which are copies of antique statues kept at the Louvre: Diana of Gabii and Venus Genitrix. The interior is decorated in luxury with mosaics. The treatment rooms are equipped with Volvic stone bath tubs. In 1913-1914, the architect Louis Jarrier (1862-1932) extended the building towards the rear for the second- and third-class baths. A building intended for luxury baths was built between 1948 and 1955 by architects Antoine Chanet and Jean Liogier. The spa was completed in 1964 with the Galerie Laussedat (by architect Georges Guignabert) and extended in 1978-1980 (by architects Mosseri and Lanquette).
