The taxi from Clermont-Ferrand to Lyon links the Auvergne capital to France's third-largest metropolis across the Forez mountains. Clermont-Ferrand, built entirely in black Volvic lava stone, is the global headquarters of Michelin, founded here in 1889. The Chaine des Puys, an alignment of 80 volcanoes, has been UNESCO-listed since 2018, with the Puy de Dome accessible via the Panoramique des Domes rack railway. The A89 motorway crosses the Forez mountains via the Col de la Loge at 1,050 metres, passing through Thiers, the world capital of cutlery since the Middle Ages, where workshops cling to the Durolle valley. Lyon offers Renaissance architecture in Vieux-Lyon, famous bouchon restaurants, and the legacy of Paul Bocuse. This transfer is popular with business travellers, tourists combining volcanic and gastronomic experiences, and passengers connecting to Lyon-Saint-Exupery airport or Part-Dieu station.
