Private chauffeur service across Lyon
Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport is about 25 km east of the city, and transfers to hotels on the Presqu'île or in Vieux Lyon take around 35 to 45 minutes depending on traffic on the ring roads. Part-Dieu, the main TGV station, is the heart of the business district, while Confluence and Gerland host newer offices and the Cité Internationale sits beside the Parc de la Tête d'Or.
Lyon is a gastronomic city, with traditional bouchons in Vieux Lyon and fine dining across the Presqu'île and Brotteaux. Early December brings the Fête des Lumières, when the centre is crowded and traffic is restricted for several evenings. In winter, the airport becomes a gateway to the French Alps, with long-distance transfers to Courchevel, Méribel, Val d'Isère and Megève.

A chauffeur lets everyone taste freely and handles the narrow vineyard roads.

Your chauffeur waits in the arrivals area of your terminal, holding a sign with your name, as you leave baggage reclaim. Your flight is tracked, so the pick-up adjusts automatically to delays or early arrivals, and your driver helps with luggage.
Yes. Hourly chauffeur hire is available in Lyon for business meetings, restaurant evenings, shopping and wine tours. The driver stays with you between stops, and full-day bookings suit the Beaujolais, the northern Rhône or Pérouges.
