Lyon is France's third-largest city and a significant European corporate event destination with a strong base in food, pharmaceutical, and technology industries. The city's main conference and exhibition infrastructure is divided between two sites: Eurexpo, Europe's fourth-largest exhibition centre, located 2 kilometres from Lyon-Saint-Exupery Airport (LYS) on the eastern edge of the city; and the Cité Internationale de Lyon on the north bank of the Rhone, designed by Renzo Piano, which houses the Lyon Convention Centre, Interpol headquarters, and several multinational company offices.
Lyon's corporate transport market reflects this geography. Delegate groups at Eurexpo frequently travel from city-centre hotels or arrive directly from the airport. Groups at the Cité Internationale travel from the Part-Dieu and Presqu'ile hotel clusters. Wine and food industry events in the Beaujolais and Rhone valley regions add a strong incentive and off-site dimension to Lyon's corporate calendar.
Eurexpo is 2 kilometres from Lyon-Saint-Exupery Airport (LYS), making it one of Europe's most airport-accessible major exhibition centres. Transfer time from LYS to Eurexpo by coach is around 10 minutes. From the Part-Dieu hotel and business district in central Lyon, transfer time to Eurexpo is 20 to 30 minutes via the A43. Eurexpo hosts major events including SIRHA (hospitality and catering, January of odd years), Pollutec (environmental industry), and a range of pharmaceutical and technology sector trade shows. For conferences at Eurexpo, delegate arrival shuttle programmes from LYS and from central Lyon hotels are a standard booking.
The Cité Internationale de Lyon occupies the north bank of the Rhone between the Parc de la Tete d'Or and the Pont Morand. The Lyon Convention Centre (Palais des Congres) within the Cité Internationale is Lyon's primary dedicated congress venue. Interpol's world headquarters is also located within the Cité Internationale campus. Coach access is via the Quai Charles de Gaulle and the Avenue de Grande-Bretagne approach. Transfer time from Part-Dieu station hotels is 15 to 20 minutes; from the Presqu'ile hotel cluster (Bellecour, Hotel de Ville) it is similarly 15 to 20 minutes. The Confluence district, home to media and technology companies including GL Events (the French events group), is 20 to 25 minutes from the Cité Internationale.
Lyon's food and pharmaceutical industry base generates consistent off-site corporate transport demand. Beaujolais wine country is 40 to 50 kilometres north, approximately 40 to 45 minutes by coach via the A6 and the D roads through Villefranche-sur-Saone; vineyard and cava estate visits are popular team-building events for food and hospitality sector companies. Northern Rhone wine estates (Cote-Rotie, Condrieu) begin 30 kilometres south around Vienne, around 30 minutes. Pharmaceutical companies including Sanofi and Boiron have Lyon-area operations; group transport for internal meetings or site visits between the Lyon Science Park and the city centre is a regular corporate booking.
As a guide, a minibus (up to 19 seats) for a Lyon corporate event transfer runs around 200 to 380 EUR per day, a midi-coach (around 35 seats) around 340 to 630 EUR per day, and a full-size coach (49 to 55 seats) around 510 to 940 EUR per day. Eurexpo and Cité Internationale transfers from the city centre are at the mid range. Airport-to-Eurexpo runs are short and priced accordingly. The final figure depends on the itinerary, hours, and the event programme. We confirm a fixed price with no hidden charges -- send your event details for a free quote.
