Thanks - but it really wouldn't make much sense. If I miss the morning CFE departure, I also miss the morning LYS departures, so it would be an afternoon flight to LYS. Train from LYS would involve getting to Part-Dieu (from memory ~0h30), then a TER for at least 2h30 - obviously schedule dependent. BOD is a complete non-starter - I'd be looking at 6h30 by train from Bordeaux to Clermont-Ferrand..... via Paris!
