EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, taken in 1836, showcases the picturesque town of Clermont-Ferrand nestled at the foot of the Monts Dore range in central France. At the time, Clermont-Ferrand was just beginning to emerge as an important town, long before the establishment of the Michelin tyre company in 1889. The town's rich history dates back to the Roman era, with evidence of settlements and volcanic activity that shaped the landscape. The Monts Dore range, visible in the distance, is a breathtaking sight, characterized by its volcanic origins. The mountains have played a significant role in the region's history, with evidence of volcanic activity dating back to prehistoric times. The area's unique geology has also made it a popular destination for scientists and tourists alike. Despite the progress of industry and urbanization, the natural beauty of Clermont-Ferrand and its surroundings remains a source of inspiration and wonder. The town's historic center, with its impressive cathedral and charming streets, offers a glimpse into the past, while the nearby mountains provide a reminder of the raw power and majesty of nature. This photograph, captured over 180 years ago, offers a fascinating glimpse into the history and character of Clermont-Ferrand, a town that has evolved from a picturesque settlement to an important industrial hub while maintaining its connection to its rich past.
