Unique to this route
Here is how a typical transfer unfolds after a long-haul flight. Times are counted from touchdown.
Your driver tracks your flight in real time and adjusts accordingly, whether it is early or late.
Passport control and baggage reclaim, then we meet you in the arrivals hall with a sign bearing your name.
We leave via the Francilienne orbital: no driving through Paris, and we join the A6 south of the Île-de-France region.
A stop near Auxerre to stretch your legs, or later if you are asleep.
Dropped off at the exact address, or onwards to the Alps if you are heading for a ski resort.

From Roissy, there is no need to go through Paris: the Francilienne orbital skirts the capital to the east, passes Marne-la-Vallée and joins the A6 south of the Île-de-France region. From there, it is the Autoroute du Soleil all the way to Lyon.
It is the ideal trip after a long-haul flight. Rather than hauling your luggage to the airport’s TGV station and waiting for a train, you get into the car outside the terminal and sleep as the miles roll by.
Your chauffeur tracks your flight in real time. A delay or an early landing changes nothing: they are there when you come out.
Many of our clients do not stop at Lyon: Annecy, Chambéry and the resorts of Savoie and Haute-Savoie lie straight ahead. One single trip, from the airport to the chalet.
An honest comparison
From your front door to your destination address, with no changes and no luggage to carry.
2h 00min on the train, plus around 1h 30min to get to the station, wait for departure and complete the journey at the other end.
Direct TGVs link the CDG Airport station and Lyon in about two hours: if you are alone, travelling light and the timetable fits, that is faster. A car with driver becomes the right choice for several people, with lots of luggage or children, after an overnight flight, or if your final destination is in the Alps.
