Clermont-Ferrand holds a singular position in the French urban landscape, at the foot of the Chaîne des Puys, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A city of black stone (Volvic lava), it is the birthplace of Michelin and a major university hub. The taxi from Lyon crosses varied and spectacular landscapes, from the Beaujolais hills to the Auvergne volcanoes via the Forez plain and Thiers, the world capital of cutlery. This transfer is particularly popular with executives travelling between the two regional capitals, and tourists heading to the Auvergne Volcanoes Regional Natural Park. TaxiNeo offers an all-inclusive fixed rate, tolls included, for this nearly two-hour journey that can be productive thanks to our Wi-Fi-equipped vehicles.

Route Lyon → Clermont-Ferrand
The route leaves Lyon via the Fourvière tunnel and reaches the A6 towards Paris, before branching onto the A89 towards Clermont-Ferrand. The motorway quickly climbs into the Beaujolais hills, passing through Tarare and the Col des Sauvages at 720m altitude. After this mountain crossing, you descend towards Roanne and the Loire plain. The A72 takes over westward, crossing the Forez plain with its ponds and meadows. You pass near Thiers, perched on a rocky spur above the Durolle, whose cutlery workshops have operated since the Middle Ages. The final kilometres offer a magnificent panorama of the Chaîne des Puys, with the Puy de Dôme dominating the horizon. Arrival in Clermont-Ferrand is via the A711 serving the city centre, station and various districts. Total toll is approximately €16, fully included in the TaxiNeo fare.
