The Puy-de-Dôme: a spectacular corner of the Auvergne volcanoes

The Puy-de-Dôme is one of France's most iconic departments for anyone drawn to wide open landscapes. Dominated by the famous Chaîne des Puys, a UNESCO World Heritage site, it offers striking scenery of volcanoes, lakes, valleys and characterful villages stretching as far as the eye can see.

This is a region with a strong sense of place. Here, nature has shaped the local identity for thousands of years, creating a backdrop that lends itself naturally to romantic getaways. Couples who choose the Puy-de-Dôme find a destination that balances peace and quiet with plenty to do, whatever the season.

Hiking, food, heritage, wellbeing or simply quiet moments taking in the view — the department has something for every kind of trip.

Why choose a Love Room in the Puy-de-Dôme?

The Puy-de-Dôme is an ideal destination for couples who want to combine relaxation with discovery.

Romantic suites are plentiful here, and many of them come with striking views over the volcanoes, mountains or valleys of the Auvergne. A good number offer a private hot tub, private spa facilities, a Nordic bath or other touches designed to give couples as much privacy as possible.

The natural setting adds a lot to the experience. Waking up facing the volcanoes, or unwinding in a spa under the stars, gives a couples' stay a character all of its own.

The Puy de Dôme, an iconic summit

No account of the department would be complete without mentioning the Puy de Dôme itself.

Rising to more than 1,400 metres, it has become the symbol of the entire Auvergne region. From the summit, the view takes in the whole of the Chaîne des Puys and the surrounding countryside.

You can reach the top on foot or aboard the panoramic train, making it one of the department's must-see attractions. On a clear day, the view stretches for dozens of kilometres.

It's also one of the most impressive spots to watch a sunset together.

Clermont-Ferrand, where history meets modern life

The Auvergne's capital, Clermont-Ferrand, has a character all its own.

Its cathedral, built from black volcanic stone, dominates the skyline and gives the city an unmistakable identity. Lively squares, historic streets and plenty of restaurants make it an appealing base for an urban break.

The city is also an excellent starting point for exploring the volcanoes and the department's main natural sites.

Volcanic lakes among the finest in France

The Puy-de-Dôme is home to several remarkable lakes that add to its appeal.

Lac Pavin, famous for its near-perfect circular shape, draws visitors with its almost mysterious atmosphere. Lac Chambon, meanwhile, is particularly popular for its natural surroundings and outdoor activities.

Both make ideal settings for a walk, a picnic or simply relaxing by the water.

A destination increasingly popular with couples

The volcanoes of the Auvergne hold a genuine fascination for travellers.

That distinctiveness is exactly why this department regularly ranks among the most searched-for destinations on Love in Room. Couples come here for the unusual scenery, the quality of the accommodation and the range of experiences on offer.

Some choose a suite with private spa facilities in the middle of the countryside, while others prefer to stay close to Clermont-Ferrand or the region's spa towns. Either way, the department makes it easy to shape a trip around your own preferences.

Wellbeing at the heart of the Auvergne experience

The Auvergne has a long tradition of thermal spa culture.

Towns such as La Bourboule and Le Mont-Dore keep this tradition alive and continue to attract visitors looking to unwind. That culture of wellbeing fits naturally with a romantic stay and complements the many other activities on offer across the department.

For couples, it's a chance to combine nature, relaxation and discovery in a single trip.
