Located in the very center of France, Clermont-Ferrand is the capital of the Puy-de-Dôme département and one of the oldest cities in the country. Surrounded by dormant volcanoes and greenery, it once was an industrial center thanks to the Michelin company, but executives from the tyre giant are still based there.
The large student population makes it a fun and dynamic place, with great cuisine and a thriving cultural scene to boot. For your next visit to Clermont-Ferrand, Remotely Serious has collected a list of the top coworking spaces in the city to help you stay productive while discovering its rich history!
