Finding your chauffeur at Gare de Lyon
Your chauffeur welcomes you at the end of the platform.
Paris Gare de Lyon is at 4 place Louis Armand, in the 12th arrondissement. On arrival, we usually meet you at the end of the platform with your name on a tablet: your chauffeur comes to greet you and accompanies you and your luggage to the vehicle.
Paris Gare de Lyon
Your welcome in halls 1, 2 and 3
Halls 1 and 2 are on level 0; hall 3 is on level −1. Your train number helps us arrange your welcome at the right platform. The landmarks below help you find your way around the station and organise vehicle drop-off or pickup.
Arriving by train
Provide the date, train number, scheduled time, the name to display on the tablet and a phone number where you can be reached. Meet your chauffeur at the end of the platform; they will then accompany you and your luggage to the vehicle. If you change trains or use another exit, contact the service so we can adjust the meeting arrangements.
Drop-off areas for each hall
For hall 1, the short-stay drop-off area is on level 0, on the Mercure hotel side, with the station clock as an exterior landmark. For halls 2 and 3, we use the underground drop-off area. These access points are for the vehicle: when your train arrives, your chauffeur usually meets you at the end of the platform and then guides you to the car.
Departing from Gare de Lyon
Whether you leave from home, a hotel or your office, the pickup time takes your departure address and train into account. Allow extra time for traffic, getting out of the vehicle and making your way through the station. Platform access remains subject to the railway operator’s instructions and rules.
If you need assistance
When booking, tell us about any walking difficulties, a folding wheelchair or particular assistance needs. We will check vehicle suitability and the meeting arrangements. The chauffeur’s help with luggage is separate from SNCF rail assistance for reaching the platform and boarding or leaving the train.

I · Arriving in Paris
The clock sets the pace.
Your train is arriving. Your next destination is already planned.
A transfer to suit your journey
From Gare de Lyon to your next destination.
To a hotel or an appointment in Paris
Your private chauffeur at Gare de Lyon takes you to the address given when booking: a hotel, palace hotel, apartment, business or event venue. For a business arrival, your assistant or concierge can provide the traveller’s name, preferred entrance and contact details for the person to notify.
Gare de Lyon to CDG or Orly
A connection to a flight is planned using details of both journeys: train number and arrival time, onward flight, airport and terminal. Traffic can affect the driving time. Your connection time must also allow for leaving the station, any check-in and airport security; it is not just the time spent in the car.
From Orly or CDG to Gare de Lyon
For a flight-to-train connection, provide your flight number, terminal and train departure time. At the airport, a welcome with your name displayed is arranged in the public arrivals area, then your chauffeur accompanies you and your luggage to the vehicle. Landing time is not the time you leave the terminal: allow for disembarking, any checks and baggage collection before the road transfer and making your way to the train.
To Gare du Nord, Montparnasse or another station
To continue your journey, tell us your next train and its departure time. Your transfer can take you and your luggage to another Paris railway station. If schedules change, contact the service to review the connection arrangements: road transport cannot guarantee a journey time unaffected by traffic.
Disneyland Paris, Versailles and La Défense
After arriving at Gare de Lyon, you can continue to your hotel at Disneyland Paris, a visit to Versailles or an appointment in La Défense. Provide the exact address, number of travellers and luggage details. For Disneyland, give the hotel name rather than just the name of the park; for La Défense, specify the tower and intended entrance.
Beauvais, Le Bourget and longer journeys
To travel to Beauvais, provide your flight and train details so we can allow suitable time for this connection. For Le Bourget, specify the business aviation terminal or handling operator. A destination beyond Île-de-France can also be quoted, with the route and breaks planned in advance.
Sedan or van: choose according to travellers and luggage
Sedans accommodate up to 3 passengers. The Mercedes V-Class van accommodates up to 6 passengers; the space available for suitcases depends on the number of seats occupied and luggage size. For a group with plenty of luggage, list checked suitcases, cabin bags and special items separately so we can check the configuration before confirmation.
A delayed train or a change of plans
Train tracking helps us adjust your welcome, and waiting is included. In the event of a significant delay, for example two to three hours, we discuss the situation with you. If you would like the chauffeur to remain on site, additional waiting hours are charged only with your prior agreement to the hours and their rate. Also notify the service if you change trains, cancel your journey or change your destination.
Travelling with children or a pet
Tell us the children’s ages and any equipment needed before booking. If you are travelling with a pet, specify its size and whether you have a carrier bag or crate, including its dimensions. These details help us prepare a welcome suited to the vehicle and your luggage.
Before confirming
The details needed to book your private chauffeur at Gare de Lyon.

Exact pickup and destination addresses; terminal and flight for an airport connection.
Number of passengers, checked suitcases, cabin bags and bulky items.

II · On board
A moment of calm after the platform.
Space to settle in between your train’s arrival and your next appointment.
Beyond your arrival
A transfer, or a day with your chauffeur.
