France’s Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS) reported a magnitude 2.7 quake in France near Clermont-Ferrand, Puy-de-Dôme, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, only 24 minutes ago. The earthquake struck late at night on Saturday, October 24th, 2026, at 11:30 pm local time, at a very shallow depth of 5 km. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review the data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their reports.
A second report was later issued by France’s Military Applications Division – Earth and Environmental Science (CEA), which listed it as a magnitude 3.0 earthquake. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 2.5.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but it was probably felt by many people as light vibrations in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Saint-Amant-Roche-Savine (pop. 630), located 1 km from the epicenter.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Ambert (pop. 7,900), located 9 km from the epicenter. In Issoire (pop. 16,000, 30 km away), Montbrison (pop. 16,200, 34 km away), Cournon-d’Auvergne (pop.
