Taxi in Aydat

Aydat is a privileged commune in the Puy-de-Dôme department that is home to the largest natural lake in Auvergne: 65 hectares of water formed 8,600 years ago when a lava flow from the Puy de la Vache blocked the course of the Veyre River. This volcanic origin gives Lac d'Aydat a unique character — its shores blend green meadows, managed beaches, and small wooded coves, all in a mountain setting just 25 km from Clermont-Ferrand. This proximity makes Lac d'Aydat the go-to nature destination for locals: on sunny weekends, thousands of families converge on its beaches for swimming (supervised from mid-June to mid-September), kayaking, pedalo, stand-up paddleboarding, and fishing. The Aydat water sports centre, awarded the France Station Nautique label, offers courses and equipment hire for all levels. But Aydat is more than its lake. The Puy de la Vache and Puy de Lassolas, twin volcanoes located south of the commune, offer one of the most spectacular hikes on the Chaîne des Puys: in 45 minutes of easy walking, you reach the breached craters from which lava flowed all the way to the lake. The 360-degree panorama encompasses the entire Chaîne des Puys, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and on clear days, the Puy de Sancy to the south. The Romanesque church of Aydat, sober and elegant, bears witness to a discreet but authentic medieval past. TaxiNeo transports you to all these treasures with the speed and comfort of a professional taxi service.

Aydat is 25 minutes from Clermont-Ferrand via the D2089, one of the most heavily used roads in the department during summer. And therein lies the problem: on July and August weekends, the access road to Lac d'Aydat is saturated and car parks overflow. Finding a parking space near the beach becomes an ordeal. A TaxiNeo taxi transforms this frustration into relaxation: our drivers drop you directly at the main beach or the water sports centre, and all you have to do is enjoy the water. End-of-day pick-up service at the time of your choice. For Clermont families without a car, a taxi to Aydat is the perfect solution: in 25 minutes, you go from city to lake without the constraints of public transport (non-existent on this route at weekends). Our drivers also offer full-day hire to combine lake and volcanoes: morning swimming, lakeside lunch, then transfer to the Puy de la Vache car park for the afternoon hike. Fishing enthusiasts appreciate our early-morning transfers (from 5 am) to the best fishing shores, away from the beaches. On summer evenings, Lac d'Aydat hosts concerts and firework displays — we provide safe transport back to Clermont, even late at night. Online booking is recommended for summer weekends.
