Taxi Tarare → Roanne
Tarare → Roanne transfer at €80–€95. 40 km, 35 min.
A taxi between Tarare and Roanne costs between €80 and €95 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 40 kilometres and a journey time of from 35 to 50 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes D385/A89, with ~€3 in tolls. A van for up to seven passengers starts at €125. That price includes luggage, tolls and the driver's approach, and it does not move if traffic builds up: that is the difference with a metered ride, where every minute of waiting is charged and the applicable rate depends on the hour. On an unbooked ride, the amount follows the scale of the prefectoral order applying where the passenger is picked up, higher from seven in the evening to ten in the morning as well as on Sundays and public holidays. The driver tracks the flight or train number given at booking and shifts the pick-up at no extra cost if it is delayed, and cancelling remains free up to six hours before departure.

Tarare to Roanne connects two historic textile and industrial towns separated by the Monts de Tarare mountain range. Tarare was the world capital of muslin manufacturing for over two centuries, while Roanne is home to the legendary Troisgros restaurant, holder of three Michelin stars since 1968. The scenic D385 route crosses the Col des Sauvages at 720 m altitude, passing through Amplepuis, birthplace of Barthélemy Thimonnier who invented the sewing machine in 1830, and the former weaving centre of Thizy-les-Bourgs. No direct train service exists between these mountain-separated towns, making the taxi the only practical door-to-door option.
