Auberge de Jeunesse HI Clermont-Ferrand

It’s thought to be one of the oldest cities in France. In 1630, the edict of Troyes decreed the union of the towns of Clermont and Ferrand, resulting in a single city. This was confirmed and effected by Louis XV’s second edict of union in 1731. The Auberge de Jeunesse HI Clermont-Ferrand accommodation, together with the city and its surroundings, offers many interesting cultural and natural landmarks. There’s the Gothic cathedral Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption nearby. It was built in black lava stone, which was extracted from the Central Massif, a mountainous area of dormant volcanoes. The cathedral’s construction began in 1248 and was initiated by architect Jean Deschamps and the Archdiocese of Tours. The construction was completed in 1902. The cathedral’s towers, which face towards the Parc, naturel régional des Volcans d’Auvergne nature reserve and the Puy de Dôme volcano, reach 96.1 metres high. The entire cathedral’s height is 92 metres. The Central Massif mountain range’s highest point, which is at the top of the Puy de Dôme volcano in the Parc naturel régional des Volcans d’Auvergne, offers a view of eighty volcanoes that stretch 45 kilometres in length and 5 kilometres in width. The Puy de Dôme volcano was protected as a natural landmark and a World Heritage Site of incredible universal value for all nations and humanity by UNESCO’s international convention in 2018. The biodiversity of the mountainous landscape presents unspoilt nature with rich fauna and protected flora.
