Neuchatel, Switzerland to Clermont-Ferrand, France -- 470km
Leaving Switzerland was no problem, and entering France and the European Union was no problem either. Funny to see side by side the highway signs in blue for France and green for Switzerland.
The highway was easy, through 'la campagne' till Clermont-Ferrand.
After checking in we went see the town. As the hotel was outside I took the car and parked in some street. As usual memorize where the car was and go on.
I liked to walk there and see the old buildings in lava stone - there was a volcano in the surroundings! Nowadays is just a curiosity with field trips to the border, but the stones used in old houses and monuments are typical.
As usual in Europe there's allways beautiful churches.

I just love stained glass windows.
Small shops help create an atmosphere in a city.
Thank you for reminding me of this city... it is not as "fresh" in my memory as the others, not sure why... and thumbs up for the initiative on writing this blog and keeping a record of the trip! :)
