Riom is a quiet provincial town in the Puy-de-Dome department just north of Clermont-Ferrand.

There are quite a few interesting Rebnaissance buildings to visit in the town, including:

- the church of Saint-Amable, an eclectic mix of styles, due to the church being changed and modified frequently

- the clock tower (previously the belfry), dating from the end of the 14th century

- the churches of Notre-Dame-du-Marthuret and la Sainte-Chapelle

In the cemetery at Riom there is an unusual war memorial, bering tribute to those who were shot as pacifists, or in order to set an example to the other troops. This kind of memorial is very rare in France (and elsewhere).

Mozac and Volvic are other towns nearby.
