Lyon-Part-Dieu station after its renovation, France's 2nd busiest station by passenger traffic.
Lyon-Part-Dieu station is the city's main TGV station. With over 50 million passengers per year, it is France's 2nd busiest station, after Gare de Lyon in Paris. Since its renovation completed in 2025, it has a new look with redesigned access points and new exits.
Part-Dieu station after its renovation
The major modernisation project at Lyon Part-Dieu, carried out over several years, has profoundly transformed the station:
- New Part-Dieu-side façade — brighter, more open
- Reorganised exits — improved signage for taxis and private drivers
- New waiting areas in the main hall
- Easier access from metro line D (Part-Dieu Villette station) and trams T1, T4
- Redesigned drop-off zone on the Boulevard Vivier-Merle side
ℹ️ Please note: Following the renovation, private driver pick-up zones have been relocated. You will receive exact meeting point information in your CharlyCars booking confirmation.
Where to meet your private driver?
This is the question everyone asks. Here is how it works with CharlyCars:
- You book online, specifying your train arrival time and train number
- Your driver tracks your train in real time — if your TGV is delayed, they know and adjust their arrival time
- When you get off the train, a message tells you exactly where to find the vehicle
- Your driver waits for you with a sign bearing your name, at the agreed meeting point
Your driver waits for you as you get off the train. No searching needed — you are guided to the vehicle.
