Driving to and from Lyon Airport, officially known as Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport (LYS), in the Rhones Alpes region of France provides access to the vibrant city of Lyon and the surrounding region.

Here's what you need to know about driving to and from the airport, including the closest city, main routes, tolls, clean air zones, and electric vehicle (EV) charging points:

Closest City:

  • The closest major city to Lyon Airport is Lyon itself. The airport is located approximately 25 kilometers (about 16 miles) east of Lyon city center, making it a convenient gateway to the city.

Main Routes:

  • The main road that connects Lyon Airport to Lyon city center is the A432 highway, which provides direct access. Once you exit the airport, you can easily follow this route to reach the city center.

Tolls:

  • Tolls are common on French highways, including the A432, which connects the airport to Lyon. The amount of the toll will depend on the distance traveled and the type of vehicle you are driving. Be prepared to pay tolls using cash or credit/debit cards.

Clean Air Zones and Emissions Regulations:

  •  Lyon has implemented a Crit'Air sticker system to regulate vehicle access in the event of air pollution episodes. Vehicles are classified into different categories based on their emissions, and access to certain areas may be restricted for high-emission vehicles during pollution episodes. Electric vehicles and those with low emissions typically have better access. 

Electric Vehicle (EV) Points:

  • Lyon Airport offers charging stations for electric vehicles. These charging points can be found in various parking areas, allowing EV owners to charge their vehicles while parked at the airport.

Language:

  • French is the official language in Lyon and throughout France. Road signs are in French, so having some basic French language skills can be helpful for reading signs and communicating with locals.

Public Transportation:

  • In addition to driving, Lyon has an efficient public transportation system, including trams, buses, and a metro, which can be useful for getting around the city. Lyon also has a bike-sharing program for eco-friendly urban exploration.

Distance to Attractions:

  • Lyon is known for its historical and cultural attractions, including the Vieux Lyon (Old Lyon), the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière, and its vibrant culinary scene. The city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and offers numerous opportunities for exploration.

In summary, driving to and from Lyon Airport allows you to experience the rich culture and attractions of Lyon and the surrounding region. Be prepared for potential tolls on highways and stay informed about clean air zones if you plan to drive a vehicle with emissions restrictions. Lyon's well-connected public transportation system also makes it easy to explore the city once you arrive.
