After the weathy Dijon, this is the working class and industrial Clermont Ferrand.
The city where is based the tire manufacturer Michelin

Clermont Ferrand is the biggest and capital city of Puy de Dome departement and Auvergne region
138,992 inhabitants for the city proper and 426,700 inh for the metropolitan area

I took these picture a monday (the least busy day after sunday) before 2 pm and the weather was bad, so the streets are a bit empty.

Clermont Ferrand,France - An interesting mix of old and new...

MK: Good pics from Michelin's home of Clermont Ferrand,France!
I found it to be an interesting mix of old and new infrastructure...
Those trams are quite interesting - it looks like to me that they are rubber-tired with the single guide rail also functioning as the power return circuit.
What is the arch in the background of pic #84 along that expressway?
