Its name pays tribute to the former mayor of Clermont-Ferrand and resistance fighter, Gabriel Montpied (1944-1973). Located in the Champratel district in the north of the city, it was inaugurated in 1995. This stadium is the home of Clermont Foot, a professional club that now plays in Ligue 1. The stadium is gradually increasing its capacity. In 2024, it should accommodate 16,200 people, compared to 10,800 today, including 3,200 modular seats. The parking lot capacity will increase to 1,700 spaces. This will be only the beginning of a long transformation in three phases, with the objective of reaching a capacity of 30,000 spaces in the long term. Expansion work is scheduled to begin in 2023.

It's impossible to talk about Clermont-Ferrand without mentioning its formidable rugby team. ASM is not just a club, it's a religion in Auvergne!

Since then, it has never left, attracting thousands of proud supporters season after season. Nicknamed the "Yellow Army", they all gather at the Marcel-Michelin stadium for home matches to support the "yellow and blue".

Sylvain offers you a fun, sometimes greedy, ride in the undergrowth on an all-terrain electric scooter. To do this, you need to be equipped with a helmet and before setting off, it is necessary to practise for a few minutes on an educational course. It then takes you to discover the forest and the Tronçais region silently and effortlessly, for three hours for the most athletic, and by unsuspected paths. This activity can be practised from the age of 12, depending on the size of the child, as there is a junior model.
