Clermont-Ferrand Auvergne Airport: where to stay, areas and…

Clermont-Ferrand Auvergne airport is 7 km from the centre, with three different ways to get there: the TER train from the nearby Aulnat-Aéroport station in 10 minutes to the Gare, a taxi in 10-15 minutes, or the T2C bus line 20 in 30-40 minutes. Those who don't want to depend on a taxi find budget hotels near the Gare reachable by train; those who prefer the centre, with the cathedral and Place de Jaude, add half an hour of travel but gain restaurants and evening life. Those arriving by car from the A71/A75 motorways find a convenient alternative on the other side of the city, far from the airport but close to the road entrance.
