Issoire, one of the most beautiful detour in france

In the heart of Auvergne, Issoire is located in the south of Puy-de-dôme, to 25 minutes from Clermont-Ferrand. Issoire has been called the gateway to the south because of its highly colourful architecture, tile roofs, and mild and sunny climate. For centuries it has been known as a “fine Auvergne town”, famous as a place for trade and fairs. Today, the richness of its material and immaterial heritage has earned it the “Most Beautiful Detour in France” label.
