Book a budget hotel in Clermont-Ferrand

Following in the footsteps of the French tire industry with the L’Aventure Michelin. L’Aventure Michelin is one of the many must-see sites in Clermont-Ferrand and is a firm favorite. Thanks to its geographical location in the center of the city, the site invites its visitors to explore the entire history of the famous tire brand. Along 21,528 ft 2 of scenic routes, you will discover an amazing space dedicated to the legendary Michelin Man and all his incarnations. Just a few minutes away from your Première Classe Clermont Ferrand Centre hotel, walk in the footsteps of the legendary adventure of a truly French brand. Cock-a-doodle-doo! From the first Latin slogan "nunc est bibendum-now is the time to drink" to the most recent advertisements, the space on the ground floor reveals all the facets of the brand. In fact, behind the rather good-natured man image lies an incredible innovation machine. Michelin is constantly evolving, and made a name for itself very early on by moving into the aviation and rail sectors. Move up one floor to discover innovations, some of which are totally unexpected. A lesson in marketing, that's what Michelin is all about. You'll discover this quite quickly thanks to the history of the Michelin Guide and the road and hotel maps invented by the Michelin brothers. All the creativity of the brand is revealed from one room to another, from one model to another, from one innovation to another, just like the incredible "1000 legs" vehicle, worthy of a James Bond movie!

Travel back in time and around the world at the Musée Bargoin. Right in the heart of Clermont-Ferrand, the Musée Bargoin is located in a neoclassical building dating back to the beginning of the last century. The Musée Bargoin, one of the most famous in the Auvergne, has been opening its doors to both the curious and anyone interested in heritage since 1903, when it was built. Discover the heritage of Clermont Ferrand, once you leave your hotel. Two departments deal with this thematic: archaeology and textile art. Indeed, the metropolis of Les Arvernes was for a very long time a historical crossroads, as shown by the excavations on the Gergovie Plateau, the results of which you can see before you today. Here, the skeleton of the "young girl of the Cheix" is accompanied by Gallo-Roman glassware, religious objects or children's toys; not to mention the statuettes, witnesses to the ancient rites of the time when a temple of Mercury stood at the top of the Puy de Dôme. Alongside this ancient heritage, there is the collection of textile arts taking the visitor to distant lands. By regularly offering temporary exhibitions based around a particular country, the museum becomes a cultural ambassador for an evening.
