Lyon Saint-Exupéry

The airport east of Lyon,
and the gateway to the Alps

Lyon Saint-Exupéry lies about twenty-five kilometres east of the city, half an hour from Part-Dieu or the Presqu'île on a normal day. It is France's main regional airport after the Paris ones, with its own high-speed rail station in the steel-winged building designed by Santiago Calatrava.

For winter travellers it has a decisive advantage: no border. From Saint-Exupéry, the Alps are reached entirely on French motorways, about two hours to Megève or Alpe d'Huez and two and a half to Val Thorens, with no customs and no Swiss vignette.

Your chauffeur follows the flight from take-off and adjusts the meeting time to the actual landing, so a delay never turns into a wait at the kerb or a missed transfer.

Where we drive

The city, the business district
and the ski resorts

Most business arrivals head to Part-Dieu, Confluence or Eurexpo, and most leisure arrivals to the Presqu'île and Vieux Lyon. We also run full days at your disposal for meetings across the city.

In winter, Saint-Exupéry is one of the main gateways to the Alps. We run private transfers to Megève, Val Thorens, Alpe d'Huez and Chamonix, and to Courchevel, Tignes, Val d'Isère and La Plagne, as well as Méribel and Les Arcs.

From November to the end of March, the French mountain law requires 3PMSF winter tyres or chains in the boot in the listed mountain communes. Our cars are equipped for the whole season.
