“Gone is the image of a harsh land” comments the magazine, which specifies that in 2030, “household growth will remain stronger there than in Rouen or Nice, for example”.
“The revenge of medium-sized towns”
The city seems to be reaching out to young workers, reconciling work and quality of life, while offering “affordable” real estate prices.
“Clermont-Ferrand can rely on the dynamism and the good life of an increasingly popular territory. In the era of mistrust of too dense agglomerations, it benefits from the revenge of medium-sized towns. And turns into a land of welcome for Parisians eager to be close to nature ”.
Dijon (Côte-d’Or) and Nantes (Loire-Atlantique) completed the podium, followed by Bordeaux (Gironde) and Rennes (Ille-et-Vilaine).

Finally, the capital of Puy-de-Dôme grabs fifth place the most attractive cities for businesses. In front are Nantes, Rennes, Lyon and Toulouse.
The mayor Olivier Blanchi commented on this Clermont-Ferrand winners: “These rankings reward all the work carried out over the years in the direction of families, of course, but also our efforts to lead the necessary ecological transition of the territory. I also welcome the good position of the metropolis for the attractiveness of businesses. These distinctions honor us, but they also oblige us to go even further in all these fields ”.
