vs TGV
TGV requires connections; our service is door-to-door
Lyon is 550 kilometres from Cannes — a distance that, by train, means connections, luggage handling, and rigid timetables. By prestige vehicle with a chauffeur, the journey becomes productive time or complete rest, door to door. CLS handles this long-distance run with premium vehicles and drivers experienced in extended missions.
Cannes to Lyon: the business traveller's choice
The Cannes–Lyon run suits professionals who cannot afford the constraints of train stations and connections. Via the A8 then A7 (the 'Route du Soleil'), it takes 4h45 to 5h30 depending on traffic. Our long-distance drivers are experienced in this type of mission: smooth, safe driving with stops when needed. For executives and VIPs, CLS offers the BMW i7 — the pinnacle of long-distance comfort with its sound-insulated cabin and rear massage seats.
Lyon airport: international connections
Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport (LYS) is an Air France and Lufthansa hub with direct connections to over 120 destinations. If your ultimate destination is beyond Lyon — Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt — we get you to LYS on time with integrated flight tracking.
Lyon as a destination: gastronomy and art de vivre
Lyon is widely considered the world's gastronomic capital — Paul Bocuse built his legacy here. Its bouchons, the Croix-Rousse market, UNESCO-listed Vieux-Lyon, and the Festival of Lights in December make it a destination in its own right. Our clients sometimes come for a specific event and request a full-day chauffeur in Lyon before returning.
