Riom-ès-Montagnes, capital of northern Cantal

Riom-ès-Montagnes is the main central town in northern Cantal, located at 840 meters altitude on the Cézallier plateau. This dynamic commune concentrates services, shops, and facilities for a whole rural living area. Its weekly market and seasonal events, including the car boot sale, contribute to the animation of this mid-mountain territory.

A remarkable volcanic area

Riom-ès-Montagnes is located in the heart of a remarkable volcanic landscape, between the Massif Cantalien and the Cézallier plateau. The vast expanses of high-altitude pastures, the volcanic stone 'burons', and the grandiose panoramas of the Cantal mountains make this region a territory of character. The car boot sale offers visitors the opportunity to discover this natural heritage while indulging in bargain hunting.

The Gentiane Express nearby

Riom-ès-Montagnes is also the starting point of the Gentiane Express, the famous tourist train that crosses the Barajol viaduct and traverses spectacular landscapes of the Cézallier. The proximity of this major tourist attraction contributes to the summer crowds in the commune and, by extension, to the attendance at the car boot sale.
