Private driver at Lyon Perrache station

The route

Perrache is in the south of the Presqu'île, between the Rhône and the Saône, two kilometres from Bellecour. From the centre, ten minutes is enough. The Fourvière tunnel comes out right next to the station.

Place Carnot or Place des Archives side

The station has two entrances. To the north, you reach it through the exchange hub from Place Carnot; the building is under works and the walkways change as the work progresses. To the south, the Place des Archives entrance is step-free, with a ramp and lifts to the platforms, and a drop-off zone in the underground car park.

When your train arrives

Put your TGV or TER number in the request. Yanis tracks the actual arrival time, moves the pick-up if the train is late, and waits at the agreed entrance with a sign bearing your name. The side of the station is settled with you before the day of the ride.

Depending on the time of day

Before 7 am, crossing Lyon to Perrache is quick. Between 7.30 and 9 am, and again late in the afternoon, the expressway running under the exchange hub towards the Fourvière tunnel fills up fast: with a train to catch, Yanis allows extra time. In the evening, he meets your train even after the last metro.

To the airport, Geneva or the Alps

From Perrache, Yanis drives you to Saint-Exupéry, Geneva Airport or the Alpine resorts, without going back through Part-Dieu. In the request, put Perrache as pick-up, then the airport or resort as drop-off.
