FTC RIDER

offers private chauffeur transfers to and from Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport, named after aviator and author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, whose The Little Prince remains one of the most-translated books in the world. Unlike most major hub airports, LYS has its own dedicated TGV station — a striking Santiago Calatrava design resembling a bird in flight — allowing high-speed rail passengers to step straight from the platform into the terminal.

FTC Rider covers the roughly 25km, 30–40 minute drive into central Lyon and its Part-Dieu business district, as well as onward transfers into the Alps for skiers heading to resorts such as Alpe d’Huez, Courchevel and Val Thorens, and day-trip excursions through the Beaujolais vineyards just north of the airport.

Available 24/7 for early or late flights, FTC Rider’s Lyon-Saint Exupéry service suits business travellers, ski-season arrivals and wine-region visitors alike, with a single compact terminal that’s far simpler to navigate than Paris’s sprawling hubs.
