Van Hire at Lyon Saint Exupéry

Lyon is one of the most interesting cities in France for a cultural and gastronomic getaway. It combines historical heritage, charming neighbourhoods and one of the country’s finest culinary scenes.

One of the first must-see stops is the old town, Vieux Lyon, a labyrinth of medieval and Renaissance streets, notable for its famous traboules – hidden passageways connecting buildings and inner courtyards. Nearby, you can climb Fourvière Hill to visit the impressive Basilique Notre-Dame de Fourvière, which offers the best panoramic views of the city.

If you’re looking for a more modern and relaxed atmosphere, the Parc de la Tête d’Or is perfect for a stroll, hiring a bike or simply relaxing by the lake. The Musée des Confluences is also well worth a visit – a museum with futuristic architecture that explores themes of science, anthropology and natural history.

And, of course, Lyon is known as the gastronomic capital of France, so you can’t leave without trying a bouchon lyonnais – the traditional restaurants serving typical regional dishes.

Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport is one of the main gateways to south-eastern France, and hiring a van directly at the airport is a very convenient way to start your journey with complete freedom.

One of the main advantages is the convenience from the moment you arrive. As soon as you land, you can collect your van without needing any additional transfers to the city centre, allowing you to set off straight away and save time.

Another great advantage is the flexibility to explore the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. From the airport, you can easily reach destinations such as the city of Lyon, as well as natural areas like the French Alps, the Vercors Regional Nature Park or Lake Annecy – all ideal for a van trip.

Finally, the airport offers a wide range of hire companies, making it easy to compare prices and vehicle types to find the option that best suits your needs, whether it’s a compact van or a larger vehicle for long journeys.
