Lyon Satolas by b1bob
Flying is the way to get there the quickest from everywhere outside of Europe. I'm sorry to say that delta recently discontinued the direct flight from JFK to Lyon. In Europe, get a Eurailpass and take the train. Lyon has good mass transit downtown, but the airport is quite a ways away from central Lyon. Therefore, it would be smarter and cheaper if you have to take a taxi to share the fare and the ride with a bunch of other people if you don't have a friend or colleague from there to pick you up.
