Getting to Clermont:
By plane: Clermont-Ferrand Aulnat (CFE) is connected to Paris (CDG) by three daily flights.
By train: Paris (Bercy) to Clermont-Ferrand is a direct route, about 3h30, 4-6 daily. From Lyon, direct, 2h30, 6-8 trains daily.
Driving: Lyon to Clermont, 2 hr, 170 km (motorway, toll). Paris to Clermont, 5h, 425 km (motorway, toll).
Going from Clermont to Lyon:
If you are attending the Goldschmidt conference starting in Lyon on the Sunday 9th (or earlier if you participate to a workshop), there are several convenient options:
- Driving — 2 hours but not recommanded, trafic/parking in Lyon can be quite bad.
- By train, depending when you need to be in Lyon (e.g. if attending a workshop)
- On the Sunday, at your leisure. 6 direct trains from 7h04 to 19h50, about 2h30. 14h03 or maybe 15h02 would bring you in Lyon confortably in time for the icebreaker (16h26 and 17h26, resp.)
- On the Saturday evening after the field trip:
- From Clermont, you would need to leave at 17h00 (at the latest) to be at 19h26 in Lyon, probably skipping the field trip
- The field trip bus will (probably) make a stop in Roanne, with trains to Lyon at 18h21 and 18h50 (a bit more than 1 hour to Lyon).
- On the Friday evening, last trains at 18h02 and 19h20 (2h30).
