Lyon, France

Lyon

France's gastronomy capital, and one of its sharpest business addresses

Lyon rewards two very different kinds of traveller with the same chauffeured standard: the ones chasing a bouchon dinner and a Michelin star, and the ones with back-to-back meetings in the Part-Dieu tower. Both get picked up on time, in a clean car, by a driver who knows the Presqu'île's one-way streets.

Gastronomy

The reputation is earned

Lyon's claim to being France's culinary capital dates back to Paul Bocuse and the mothers (mères lyonnaises) who defined bouchon cooking a century ago, and it still holds — the city carries one of the highest concentrations of Michelin-recognised kitchens in France, alongside the market stalls of Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse. We treat a restaurant booking the way we treat a boardroom meeting: get you there on time, wait discreetly, and get you home without you thinking about parking.

Business travel

The Part-Dieu business district

Behind the food-capital reputation is a serious commercial centre: La Part-Dieu, France's largest business district outside Paris, anchored by the Tour Part-Dieu and a dense cluster of corporate headquarters, banks and Lyon's main TGV station. Trade fairs at Eurexpo add to a steady flow of executive travel that runs on the same tight scheduling as Zurich's own financial district.

A day in Lyon

How our clients typically spend it

01

Vieux Lyon & the traboules

A morning walk through Renaissance old town and its hidden passageways — dropped at the edge, since cars can't follow you through a traboule.

02

Fourvière Basilica

Up the hill for the view over the Rhône and Saône, by road or funicular — we wait at the base or meet you at the top, whichever suits your schedule.

03

Presqu'île, between the rivers

Shopping and the Musée des Beaux-Arts on the peninsula between Lyon's two rivers, a compact district our chauffeurs know block by block.

04

A bouchon table, booked and returned

Dinner reservation confirmed, chauffeur waiting outside when you're done — no taxi app, no guessing how long a table will run.
