Private driver in Lyon
TSE Tourisme & Transport offers its private chauffeur service in Lyon.
A trade show at Eurexpo, a delegation to drive to the Cité Internationale, an evening flight from Saint-Exupéry, a departure for the ski resorts on Saturday morning?
TSE Tourisme & Transport handles these trips with its fleet of Mercedes sedans , professional drivers , and, when the event requires, the provision of several coordinated vehicles . You deal with a single point of contact from the initial exchange to the final return.
TSE: the major player in your transfers in Lyon
Three locations concentrate the majority of arrivals and departures in Lyon , and each has its own specific constraints.
Lyon-Saint-Exupéry airport is located about thirty kilometers east of the centre: a journey that can take half an hour depending on the time and direction of traffic.
We keep an eye on the actual landing time of your flight and time the pick-up accordingly , including when your aircraft lands well after the last departure of the shared shuttles.
The Part-Dieu station is located in the heart of the business district: the issue is not distance but access, which is often congested during peak hours.
Your driver will meet you at a pre-arranged meeting point , saving you from navigating the block and making multiple calls. The same principle applies in Perrache, which is closer to the Presqu’île and the city center hotels.
Perrache follows a different logic. Located at the southern tip of the Presqu’île, the station directly serves Bellecour, Confluence and the hotels in the center, but its multi-level interchange regularly loses travelers who are not used to it.
We therefore set the pick-up point before your arrival, either on the Verdun or Charlemagne side depending on your exit , so that you do not have to look for us once you arrive.
No matter where you are going when you get off your flight or train, we’ll take you there.
Among the most requested connections: Saint-Exupéry to Part-Dieu or the Presqu’île, Part-Dieu to Eurexpo, a hotel in the centre to the Cité Internationale, or journeys to Villeurbanne, Écully and the west of Lyon.
We support your leaders, your clients and your teams
The metropolis sets its own pace: a management committee meeting at Part-Dieu in the morning, a site to visit south of the metropolitan area in the afternoon, a client to drive home at the end of the day.
Having your own dedicated driver allows you to focus on what you need to do, and only what you need to do. You book the vehicle and driver for the duration you specify, whether a few hours or several days, and your schedule unfolds without you having to worry about a thing.
Having to go from one appointment to the next while driving, or having to organize your journeys by taxi or ride-hailing service, adds an organizational burden to an already full day.
For the managers, discretion is an integral part of the service: what is said on board, between meetings or on the phone, does not leave the premises.
This also applies when you entrust a client or partner to one of our drivers. The journey time represents your company.
Our drivers are trained in this discretion , which is absolutely central to the transport of business leaders, personalities or entire delegations.
Why trust TSE Transports for your journeys in Lyon?
From the quote to the final feedback, the same person handles your case. No follow-up, no instructions to repeat.
Access to Eurexpo during trade fairs, tunnels, surroundings of Part-Dieu: our drivers anticipate potential bottlenecks.
We tailor your transfers to your constraints (landing, end of meeting, restaurant reservation, ...) and allow for the necessary margin.
You know the price of the service when you book. Waiting time, luggage, and tolls are included, with no additional charges afterward.
Route, traffic conditions and vehicle are decided in advance of each trip to the Alps, to avoid unpleasant surprises along the way.
Our vehicles: a Mercedes fleet that meets all your needs
The choice of vehicle depends on your journey.
For a quick trip to Saint-Exupéry Airport or a day of meetings in the city, the Mercedes E-Class covers the essentials: ample space to work, a quiet cabin, and a sophisticated look that goes with everything. When it comes to entertaining (a business partner, an executive for a signing, a colleague for an important dinner), the S-Class offers your passenger even more comfort.
You tell us who is travelling and for what purpose; we offer you the vehicle that matches.
Sedan
Limousine
Minivan
Minibus
A delegation, a full team, the participants of a seminar: beyond a few passengers, we use vans , minibuses or coaches depending on the number of people, and run several vehicles together when the organization requires it.
Congresses, trade shows and seminars: we handle your logistics
Lyon hosts major international trade shows and conferences every year, filling the city’s hotels. For organizers, transportation must be a top priority.
We are intervening precisely at this location. Transporting participants between their hotel on the Presqu’île and the Eurexpo exhibition center in Chassieu requires anticipating peak hours and congested access routes during trade shows. Welcoming a foreign speaker or executive upon arrival, settling them into the Cité Internationale Convention Center, and then collecting them at the end of the session requires coordination, not just a simple reservation.
Depending on the size of your event, we can provide a sedan for a VIP guest, or several vehicles operating simultaneously for all your participants. A dedicated coordinator will oversee the entire process and remain available throughout the event.
Business dinners and fine dining in Lyon
Paul Bocuse, Mathieu Viannay, Georges Perrier, … Lyon is the capital of gastronomy, and we know that business meetings often take place at the table .
A traditional Lyonnais bistro for informal gatherings, a Michelin-starred restaurant for special occasions, an evening that stretches on in Old Lyon: these moments are important in a business relationship, and nobody wants to cut them short because of the need to organize a return trip.
Your driver drops you off at the hotel, waits as long as needed, and takes you back whenever you decide, along with your guests if they’re staying elsewhere. You can enjoy the wine list without a worry…
Lyon: the gateway to the Alps, Geneva and the vineyards
Lyon puts you within two hours of several different destinations. In winter, we provide connections to the Savoy and Haute-Savoie resorts (Courchevel, Méribel, Val d’Isère, Megève, Chamonix) from both Saint-Exupéry Airport and the city center, with a pre-planned itinerary. Your luggage and equipment travel with you directly, without transfers or connections.
We also handle cross-border transfers to Geneva and its airport , as well as day trips to vineyards : Beaujolais, the Rhône Valley, or a getaway to Annecy and its lake. Again, the duration and itinerary are decided in consultation with you.
