BOD is a complete non-starter - I'd be looking at 6h30 by train from Bordeaux to Clermont-Ferrand..... via Paris!

Indeed, I just didn't know where you were going (a lot of people fly to CFE as en entry point to other areas east or west of it, some of which can be practical from LYS or BOD but if you are going to Clermont itself, there is basically no great plan B)
