Welcome to Thiers

Thiers lies on the western slopes of the Livradois-Forez mountains in central France, within the Puy-de-Dôme department of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, where steep valleys, mill terraces and the fast-flowing Durolle River shape the atmosphere of a vivid holiday in Thiers; the town is reached via the D2089 road and the railway linking Clermont-Ferrand with foothill villages, both tracing historic cutlery routes; beneath the old centre lie schist layers, volcanic fragments and sedimentary beds carved by centuries of water-powered industry; travellers choosing a B&B in Thiers often begin in the medieval upper town; staying in a villa in Thiers brings visitors close to viewpoints above workshops and ridges; the surroundings invite walks through the Vallée des Usines, cycling routes across wooded plateaus and trails rising toward the Livradois-Forez crestlines; anyone seeking a holiday home in Thiers discovers a landscape where craft heritage, rugged terrain and river history form a coherent whole.
