Travel and transport agencies Clermont-Ferrand

Equipped with a waiting room and information screens, the bus station is the departure point for departmental, national and international routes. From Clermont-Ferrand, it is now possible to reach some forty destinations directly, including Paris, Lyon and its airport, and Bordeaux. International connections are also available. All at competitive prices, via companies such as Flixbus and Blablacar. On Sunday mornings, because of the market held on the square, departures are from Avenue Pasteur.

The station has been recently renovated to improve the reception of travellers who pass through it. The main entrance houses self-service kiosks. On the Union-Soviétique side, there are the C-Vélos, the taxi rank and the intermodal hub with T2C buses (lines B, 3, 4, 35 and 36), SNCF TER buses and Transdôme intercity buses. On the Anatole-France side, there is a car park with 420 spaces and a drop-off point. From Clermont, trains reach Paris-Bercy in 3 hours (Intercités), Nîmes in 5 hours, Toulouse in 6 hours and Lyon-Part-Dieu in 2 hours 25 minutes.

Vélo-Cité 63 is a militant and friendly association whose aim is to develop the use of bicycles in towns and cities. It promotes the social and environmental benefits of cycling. The association also keeps a constant watch on the latest urban projects in favor of cyclists. Finally, it oversees the "Vélo Boulot Dodo" participative workshop opposite the CROUS in Dolet, where you can repair your bike under the eye of the chief mechanic and "adopt" a refurbished bike. The association also organizes regular bike rides.

Located on the forecourt of the SNCF train station, the C.vélo Box provides secure storage for your personal bike, with 150 video-surveilled spaces available 24/7. A very practical solution for combining train, bus and bike! To take advantage of this service, users sign up for a subscription at the nearby C. vélo branch. They then receive an access badge and can attach their bike to the numbered rail assigned to them, using their own anti-theft system. Métropole chose this location on the station forecourt to meet its intermodal needs (train, bus, bike).

Still struggling to find change to activate the parking meter? Since late 2017, the city of Clermont has been equipped with an alternative with the PrestoPark mobile app. As for Chamalières, Issoire and Riom, its sister app Whoosh is operating.

Rates remain the same, and payment is adjusted to the actual parking time.

There's no such thing as wood on a bike? Well, Joanne Lecorfec, a cabinetmaker and woodworker, came up with the idea. The idea came to her after spending 14 months cycling across France. 10,000 km gives rise to ideas! So she invented the Tijo bike, which features a gravel frame made of wood... from Auvergne, of course! Ash, oak and walnut are used to craft it. What's more, the mechanics can be tailored to meet your specific requirements. A local, sustainable bike.
