This is one of the best Campanile hotels I’ve ever stayed in, recently refurbished with excellent staff and good restaurant.

We checked in on a blistering mid July afternoon as the mercury pushed past 40 degrees. Our room was superbly clean and the air conditioning running, the maid even helped us with our bags, not just for the tip but because she could see were oldies.

Light and airy, the motel style room was very comfortable and clean. The restaurant is superb and convenient.

Just down the road is a lovely bakery with wonderful croissants and sandwiches. The Pain aux chocolate with almonds is a particular favourite.

Clermont Ferrand is in the Auvergne and conveniently situated near major autoroutes. An ancient city with a thriving centre easily accessed by buses and trains and trams. Visit the Michelin museum and cathedral.
Puy de Dome is a popular destination. You can drive to the peak, but the train is such a nice ride and at €18 adult (€12 child) round trip it’s not expensive. A family ticket (2 adults + 2 children) is €49.
Nearly 1.5km above sea level the ancient volcano Puy de dome is a nice place to walk and enjoy the views over the French countryside. With a cafe and museum, there is plenty to do even if the sun isn’t shining.
