If you do one thing in Riom, it's likely to be climbing the 128 stairs of this Renaissance belfry to reach panoramic views of volcanic-stone houses and rolling farmland. Breaking up the ascent are a few simple displays on the town's history and development.

Brochures on art, history and historic neighbourhoods are on sale here (€2).
