The Cathedral, NOTRE DAME DE L'ASSOMPTION
Dating back to the thirteenth century, the Notre Dame de l’Assomption is a superb Gothic cathedral.
This French national monument truly reflects the local heritage. Its distinctive feature is the material of which it is constructed: this lava stone, also called Volvic stone, which gives the building a very particular dark hue.
The Basilica, NOTRE DAME DU PORT
A former collegiate church in a Romanesque style, the basilica is located in the “Port” neighbourhood of Clermont-Ferrand between the Place Delille and the cathedral.
In 1998 this exquisite basilica was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list as part of the Routes of Santiago de Compostela in France.
