    If you have a couple of hours to kill in Clermont-Ferrand with your kids, this is a nice educational place to go. Not too big not too small. Just about the right size.

    Pretty interesting. Not sure if it is worth 9.50€. Was hoping to see more of the factory and how they are produced. Definitely one of the better things to do in Clermont-Ferrand. There is a free app you can download to your phone instead of paying extra for the ear piece

    That place was wonderful to me! I spent around two hours on the tour. Very intriguing and a must-see for all auto enthusiasts.

    It’s really huge so go early to enjoy the experience! Loved every part of it. At the end of the museum tour you also get to take photos with Bibendum! And you also get to to car race!

    Great interactive museum for all ages. It is very complete and will surprise you in many ways. I, for example, did not know that Michelin made trains and train tyres between 1930 and 1950 and that in Africa there are still refurbished such trains riding.

    Worth the money. Interactive journey through time from creation of the tyre to these days. Kids have tasks to do during the walkthrough with small gift at the end in shop. Shop is nice with decent pricing although pity that all the books were in French.

    A family attraction with lots to see, cars, tyres, history of Michelin and tyres. Maps, restaurant guides, tools. Cinema on site.

    Great museum 🎨🖼️ ...Michelin is BIG

  • 5/5 Tony B. 8 months ago on Google • 35 reviews
    A well organised and informative exhibition on the history of Michelin, the French company best known for its tyres. The exhibition has some unique vehicles over the company's history. It's well priced, parking is available and a good gift shop. Interesting for everyone.

  • 4/5 MariosK I. 6 months ago on Google • 27 reviews
    A very nice place for visit. I count as negative the price of tickets (11 euro) and the prices on the shop.

  • 5/5 Paulo X. 1 year ago on Google
    Really cool place with lots of shiny cars and a feel of that old style racing vibe.

  • 5/5 Anne D. 8 months ago on Google
    A truly great experience revealing how the Michelin brothers build from scratch this fantastic brand and company that guarantee over the world high quality tyres and guides for more enjoyable and safer mobilities

  • 5/5 Dave T. 10 months ago on Google
    The exhibition is very well done. Lots of good stuff on the development of tyre technology in the early part but less interesting when focus moves to their marketing.

  • 5/5 Jelle 9 months ago on Google
    Fun museum for all ages about the history behind inflatable tires. Try to come early as a line may form during the day! There are lockers to keep valuable stuff but bags can be brought insight. Toilets are clean. The giftshop is extensive. The topic of inflatable tires might sound uninteresting, as it is such a common object nowadays, but I personally never knew how innovative Michelin was when they first came up with the idea and how many iterations we are already on! The museum is interactive enough for kids to enjoy and the story throughout the years is very interesting for any adult.

    This was a very interesting experience. I really enjoyed looking at all of the artifacts and reading about the history of Michelin.

  • 5/5 Shark M. 1 year ago on Google
    Incredible delivery in terms of logical sequence, all the various aspects of history and activeness of the company, presented in an easily comprehensible manner, at the same time involving so many fascinating details of the topics. Varied means of presentation, inviting personal participation; grandiose actual models. Everything perfectly translated to English. Personally inspiring story of the company's initiative and ambition. And the Million-visitors gift bag was the cherry on top. ! Plan around three hours for a thorough visit, if you actually feel like seeing all the place has.

    Loved that place! 🤩 was there twice and would go again. The tour took me approx 2hrs. Very interesting for adults and kids, lots of exhibits, must visit for all automotive enthusiasts.

  • 5/5 Arvind Y. 4 years ago on Google
    Highly informative. All about Michelin, bibendum and tyres. Staff speak English. Entire history of Michelin & Michelin man is told clearly. The way tyres evolved and the way Michelin progressed is interesting. You can also buy michelin merchandize at an affordable price.

    If you are in clermon visit L'Aventure Michelin Once. Being a Michelin Employee I had to be there to know the rich history of Michelin!

  • 5/5 Riski N. 1 year ago on Google
    You can find entire Michelin history here

  • 4/5 Phil O. 1 year ago on Google
    Michelin has some very interesting history. One of the displays e.g. the Citroen DS test mule is fascinating. Unfortunately for me €11 was too high a price for what appears to be a museum set up for children. Perhaps due to the size of the Michelin company and their extensive resources my expectations were too high.

  • 4/5 Nick H. 1 year ago on Google
    I wanted to know what a radial tyre was and the wife wanted to know more about Michelin stars, this was the place to learn what we needed to know about Michelin. Worth the visit, a well put together attraction.
