 TGV train by Fam_Stoica
Lyon is just 2 hours from central Paris, with trains running every 30 minutes (almost 30 trains a day), 3 hours from Lille, 5 hours from London by Eurostar, and there are also TGV services to/from Chambery, Annecy, Marseille and Brussels.
The TGV station at Lyon Saint Exupery Airport facilitates air-rail connections, especially with Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport and the cities of Annecy, Chambery, Grenoble, Lille and Marseille, putting Lyon within easy reach of the main cities in France and Europe.

There's 2 train stations in Lyon, Part-Dieu and Perrache. Perrache is rather for regional trains. It's also the major Eurolines bus station. Careful, before entering a train you need to stamp your ticket, otherwise you can get into big trouble. Leave a Comment

As we were interrailing we took the SNCF train from Dijon. There is also a high speed TGV link from Gare De L'Est in Paris, which takes about 3 hours. It was quite a long journey from Dijon to Lyon and we spent the journey trying to improve my French, much to the amusement of everyone in the carriage. (You have got to hear me doing a French 'r' sound and the look of horror it gives to all the French people!) Leave a Comment Theme: Train

Lyon is quite small - you can go by foot! However, you can get around by bus or the Metro (underground/subway.) The catch is you have to buy the Metro ticket from the vending machine and punch the ticket in the machine yourself to validate the ride. Or you can buy a day pass from the transport office at Bellecour. Theme: Train

TGV from Paris: 2h
from Marseille: 3h when the line is completed (5h now)
direct train connexions to Geneva and Torino
International Airport with TGV connexion.
Shuttle to Airport is around 6 US$ (forgot if it is 1 way or return).
Frequent bus & subways. Tramway service will start in 2001.
Some bus connections to the neighbouring medieval villages like Perouges (40kms).
A few bicycle path, but not enough. Theme: Train

Lyon has many good railway connections. There are two stations, Lyon Part-dieu (the most used) and Lyon Perrache. Both railway stations can be reached by underground. Cities that can be reached from Lyon: Paris (by TGV arriving at Paris-gare de Lyon), Geneva, Grenoble, southern France and the French Riviera, Italy e.g Milan and Turin. Some people say Part-dieu is the largest station in Europe. Many nice shops and cafes in the station building. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

Train was definitely my choice, with great connections (many of them TGVs) to other French cities (Avignon, Paris are just two of those) and to Geneva, in Switzerland. There's an airport as well, and a good road network. Leave a Comment Theme: Train
