1 Avenue Julien, 63000 Clermont-Ferrand
At the Mercure Clermont-Ferrand Centre Jaude, the large bay windows in the lobby let in the light from Place de Jaude and immediately set the scene: you are at the heart of the urban rhythm, with the city pulsating just beneath your eyes, but in a cocoon where the noise suddenly becomes more muted.
Upon arrival, the team welcomes you with elegant simplicity; quick formalities, natural smiles, and a small suggestion of a refreshing drink to erase the journey: the tone is set, unpretentious but with an eye for detail.
A few steps further, a silent elevator takes you to the upper floors. There, the hallway opens into a series of rooms bathed in light. The view of slate rooftops or the lively perspective of the square gives each door a unique charm; all you need to do is push yours open to appreciate the spacious and uncluttered layout.
The furniture adopts clean lines: fabric headboards, indirect lighting, and touches of light wood that add warmth to the overall look. The high-end bedding, designed to adapt to your movements, is complemented by memory foam pillows in the Privilege categories, while a coffee machine awaits you for your first indulgent break.
Each bathroom combines a generous walk-in shower and a deep bathtub; contemporary tiling, chrome fittings, and delicately scented toiletries ensure nothing is left to chance, even down to the discreet USB port near the mirror for charging your devices as you get ready.
The careful soundproofing guarantees a peaceful sleep despite the bustling surroundings; double glazing and adjustable air conditioning complete a comfort that is more felt than described. The fast and free Wi-Fi access covers the entire establishment, from the rooms to the common areas.
Do you like keeping up the pace? The fitness room, open around the clock, offers treadmills, rowers, and weights, with fresh towels and a side view of the urban landscape. After working out, the invigorating shower in your room becomes even more satisfying.
On the same floor, three meeting rooms bathed in natural light provide a discreet setting for your gatherings; fiber optics, HD screens, and modular configurations for up to eighty people unite technical efficiency with the elegance of the space.
In the late afternoon, the panoramic bar becomes a natural meeting spot. Enjoy a house-made Auvergne Spritz or a local red fruit juice while the sun sets behind the slender silhouette of the cathedral. The adjoining terrace, sheltered from the wind, allows you to stretch the evening with a platter of regional cheeses or a made-to-order club sandwich.
Room service is available at all hours; a simple call, and a hot dish arrives discreetly. Those preferring conviviality rise early for the morning buffet: crispy breads, artisanal jams, Auvergne charcuterie, and creamy scrambled eggs, all served in a sunlit room that gently awakens the senses.
On the practical side, a covered parking lot is located just below the square, directly accessible by elevator. Bus and tram stops are two minutes away, and the train station only ten; if you're coming from the airport, it takes just twenty minutes to reach the lobby.
At nightfall, the red and gold lights of the square create an almost theatrical tableau that can be admired from the bar’s large windows. With a glass in hand, you can savor the contrast between the interior calm and the dynamic spectacle of the city.
When the stay comes to an end, an express check-out service simplifies departure; with your luggage dropped off, you still have a few hours to explore before hitting the road again.
From the Mercure Clermont-Ferrand Centre Jaude, Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption Cathedral is a five-minute walk away; climb up to its tower to take in the city and glimpse the bluish silhouettes of the Chaîne des Puys in the distance.
Continue with a stroll through the cobblestone streets of the historic district; medieval black lava stone houses, small artisan shops, and shaded café terraces offer a concentrated essence of Auvergne’s art of living.
If nature calls, a bus or rental car will take you in twenty minutes to the volcanic plateau listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site; the Panoramique des Dômes effortlessly takes you to the summit of the Puy de Dôme for a 360-degree view.
Culture enthusiasts can stop at the Roger-Quilliot Art Museum, housed in a former convent, where paintings, sculptures, and archaeological displays tell the unique story of Auvergne.
For a different evening, check the programming at the Opera-Theatre or the Marcel-Michelin Stadium: contemporary opera one night, electric rugby matches the next; Clermont-Ferrand thrives on contrasts, and the Mercure Clermont-Ferrand Centre Jaude is the ideal starting point.
