A-class motorhome routes out of Clermont-Ferrand

The D941 then the D68 climb in twenty minutes to the foot of the Puy de Dôme, which you ascend on foot or aboard the Panoramique des Dômes rack railway. The D996 heads for the Sancy massif via Saint-Nectaire and Murol in just under an hour, while the largely toll-free A75 opens up the Cantal and the Aubrac due south. At the foot of the Puy de Dôme, the Orcines aire offers 51 pitches with water, dump station and electricity, the largest equipped capacity in the area: the logical starting point for the rack railway.

Where to go by A-class motorhome around Clermont-Ferrand

The UNESCO-listed Chaîne des Puys volcanoes and the Vulcania park are under half an hour away. Allow an hour for Le Mont-Dore, the Chambon, Pavin and Guéry lakes and the Cézallier plateau; an hour and three quarters for Puy Mary in the Cantal, and forty minutes for the Romanesque church and cheese cellars of Saint-Nectaire. Around Lac Chambon, Murol and Chambon-sur-Lac together offer around a hundred pitches in equipped, paid aires, and Saint-Nectaire 22 more — a concentration that offsets the ban on overnight parking by the water.

Is it easy to drive and park in Clermont-Ferrand?

The A75, free until the Millau viaduct, is one of France’s finest motorways for a motorhome. The Puy de Dôme summit road is closed to vehicles: it’s the rack railway for everyone. In the Chaîne des Puys and the Sancy, decent roads with a few narrow passes — and fog that drops fast on the heights. The Clermont-Ferrand low-emission zone targets only professional light and heavy goods vehicles, and only unclassified ones: a rental motorhome or van, registered as a private vehicle and rated Crit’Air 2, falls outside its scope. Size and fog remain far more concrete concerns here than stickers.
