Getting There

Lyon is on the main TGV line and fast trains put Paris 2 hours away, Marseille 1 hour 40 minutes, Geneva 2 hours and London about 5 hours (with a change in Lille). Lyon-Saint-Exupéry Airport (LYS), 25 km east of the city, handles flights from across Europe and some intercontinental destinations; the Rhônexpress tram connects it to central Lyon in about 30 minutes. Drivers will find Lyon on the A6/A7 autoroutes between Paris and Marseille.
