Clermont-Ferrand / Auvergne

The UREP lab benefits from a wonderful environment. Clermont-Ferrand is a very dynamic city with over 35,000 students, an international short film festival, a vibrant music scene and a charming medieval city center built in grey lava stone. The typical cheese-based Auvergnat cuisine can be discovered in the numerous small restaurants surrounding the cathedral and the Place de Jaude.

The city is surrounded by a volcano chain, la chaîne des Puys and the Allier river, which offer an astounding variety of landscapes.
