Has anyone stayed there? We are thinking of having an overnight stopover there (or nearby if anyone has recommendations). Is there much to see around that area?

Thanks.

You're right on the edge of the 'Volans de Auvergne' - the volcanic region of the Massif Central.  There's the Puy du Dome, and many others - views from the tops are fantastic, but it can cold up there even in mid-summer.  It's a lovely area, and more than worth stopping - possibly for more than just an 'overnight'. 

There are loads of overnighting hotels, if that's what you want - every chain is represented, and most of them are just off the autoroute junction.  We stayed in one, but I'm sorry I can't remember which chain it was!   We've also stayed at the campsite at Chateau La Grange Fort, which is just a bit further south near to Issoire - can recommend it, too, for an overnight stop, but it does tend to get busy. 

HI THERE

WE STAYED THERE 2 YEARS AGO A VERY NICE VILLAGE

WE HAD A LOVLEY WALK ARROUND IN THE SNOW

WE WILL USE THIS SITE AGAIN

Hi there, we stayed about 30 mins higher up on the motorway than Clermont, at Camping de la Filature in a village called Ebreuill.  Loads of people use this site as a stop over place and as has been said, this area warrants a fortnight's holiday, not an overnighter, that's for sure.

See the thread a couple of pages back about different areas of France as I did a long write up there about the Auvergne.
