Safety
Lyon consistently ranks among Europe's safest major cities, with well-maintained infrastructure, responsive emergency services, and sophisticated urban planning. The city center, business districts, and residential neighborhoods maintain excellent security standards, though travelers should exercise standard precautions in busy tourist areas around Bellecour and Vieux Lyon, particularly during evening hours. Pickpocketing can occur in crowded metro stations and at major attractions, but violent crime remains rare. Lyon's efficient police presence and extensive CCTV networks contribute to a secure environment for residents and visitors alike. Taylor's chauffeur services eliminate exposure to public transportation vulnerabilities while providing door-to-door security throughout your Lyon itinerary. Our vetted chauffeurs possess intimate knowledge of traffic patterns, secure routes, and alternative pathways to ensure optimal safety and efficiency. For clients requiring enhanced protection during high-value meetings, luxury shopping, or public appearances, our security-trained drivers and optional close protection officers deliver comprehensive risk mitigation. We recommend utilizing our services for evening events, airport transfers, and movements with valuable assets or sensitive business materials.
Connectivity
Lyon occupies a strategic position at the crossroads of European transport networks, serving as a vital link between northern and southern Europe. The city's exceptional connectivity encompasses high-speed rail, motorway networks, and comprehensive air services, positioning it as both a business hub and gateway to the Alps, Mediterranean, and wider Rhône Valley. This transport excellence makes Lyon ideal for multi-destination itineraries combining France, Switzerland, and Italy. Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport, located 25 kilometers east of the city center, serves over 80 direct destinations across Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East, with connections to global hubs including Paris, Amsterdam, and Frankfurt. The Rhônexpress tram links the airport to Part-Dieu station in 30 minutes, though Taylor's chauffeur service provides a far more refined alternative, delivering you to any Lyon address in 25 to 40 minutes depending on your destination. Lyon-Bron Airport handles business aviation and regional flights, situated just 10 kilometers from the city center. Taylor coordinates effortlessly with Lyon's two TGV stations, Part-Dieu and Perrache, which connect the city to Paris in under two hours, Geneva in 90 minutes, and Marseille in under two hours. Our chauffeurs provide punctual station transfers and are available for extended journeys to Chamonix, Annecy, Burgundy vineyards, or the Ardèche, ensuring your ground transportation matches the sophistication of your overall travel experience.
Weather
Lyon experiences a temperate continental climate with four distinct seasons, characterized by warm summers, cool winters, and moderate precipitation throughout the year. The city's position between mountain ranges and river valleys creates occasional microclimates, with the Bise wind bringing crisp air from the north and the Mistral occasionally sweeping up from the south. Understanding Lyon's seasonal variations helps optimize your wardrobe and itinerary planning. Spring, from March through May, sees temperatures ranging from 8 to 20 degrees Celsius (46 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit), with blossoming parks and increasingly pleasant terrace weather, ideal for exploring Vieux Lyon and the Parc de la Tête d'Or. Summer, June through August, brings warm to hot conditions between 18 and 28 degrees Celsius (64 to 82 degrees Fahrenheit), perfect for riverside dining and outdoor festivals, though occasional thunderstorms provide dramatic afternoon relief. Autumn, September through November, offers mild temperatures from 10 to 20 degrees Celsius (50 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit) with beautiful foliage in hillside neighborhoods and the opening of cultural seasons. Winter, December through February, brings cool conditions between 2 and 8 degrees Celsius (36 to 46 degrees Fahrenheit), with occasional frost and rare snowfall, creating atmospheric settings for covered markets and bouchon dining. We recommend packing layers for temperature fluctuations between indoor and outdoor environments, particularly when visiting traboules and historic buildings. Light rain gear proves useful year-round, though Taylor's fleet ensures you remain insulated from weather concerns, with climate-controlled comfort and door-to-door service eliminating exposure to the elements during your Lyon experience.
