Place Royale

This point of interest is available as audio on the tour: Visit Clermont-Ferrand, The Black Diamond of Auvergne
Just a short walk from Place de la Victoire and the cathedral, Place Royale features a beautiful fountain inspired by Italian Renaissance design — the Saint-Genès Fountain. Created by Antoine Durenne, the sculpture shows two children holding up a chalice — a sacred vessel used during the celebration of Mass. Take a moment to admire this elegant centerpiece that perfectly captures the spiritual heritage of Clermont-Ferrand.”
