Taxi in La Bourboule

La Bourboule is an exceptional spa town nestled at 850 metres altitude in the Upper Dordogne valley, in the heart of the Auvergne Volcanoes Regional Nature Park. Founded in the 19th century following the discovery of its arsenical waters — the richest in natural arsenic in all of Europe — the town became an international reference for the treatment of respiratory and dermatological conditions, particularly in children. Every year, thousands of young patients come for three-week treatment programmes at the Choussy-Lépine Thermal Baths, supervised by specialised medical teams. Beyond its thermal heritage, La Bourboule captivates with its remarkably preserved Belle Époque architecture. The casino, built in 1891, stands as a testament to the resort's golden age with its ornate facade and sumptuous salons. Fenestre Park, the town's green lung, offers shaded pathways, a bandstand, and children's play areas alongside the Dordogne River. Nature enthusiasts will find plenty to explore on the trails leading to Roche Vendeix, a natural viewpoint providing a striking panorama of the valley, or towards Puy Gros (1,793 m) for more demanding hikes. In winter, the Charlannes plateau transforms into a family-friendly ski area with alpine and cross-country runs, accessible within minutes from the town centre. TaxiNeo transports you to all these destinations with drivers who know every hairpin bend of these mountain roads, whether you need a transfer from Clermont-Ferrand, a shuttle between your accommodation and the thermal baths, or an excursion to the surrounding peaks.

La Bourboule lies 55 minutes from Clermont-Ferrand via the D2089, a winding road that crosses the Auvergne Volcanoes Park and offers spectacular landscapes in every season. The lack of direct rail service and the complexity of mountain roads make taxis particularly valuable for reaching this spa resort. Our TaxiNeo drivers provide daily transfers from Clermont-Ferrand, Clermont-Ferrand Auvergne Airport (Aulnat), and Clermont-Ferrand SNCF station. In winter, between November and April, all our vehicles are fitted with snow tyres and chains, essential on the access roads to the Charlannes plateau and the Sancy mountain passes. The service is specially designed for spa patients and their families: we offer spacious vehicles that can accommodate bulky luggage, pushchairs, and medical equipment. For families accompanying a child receiving treatment, we provide daily shuttles between accommodation and the thermal baths, with schedules adapted to the treatment programme. On weekends, our drivers take you to visit surrounding villages — Le Mont-Dore, Orcival, Murol — or to discover the waterfalls and mountain lakes of the Sancy massif. Advance booking is recommended during peak season (February-March for skiing, July-August for hiking), as demand is high and local taxis are scarce. With TaxiNeo, you benefit from a fare quoted in advance with no surprises, and a professional driver waiting for you at the agreed time.
