Paris to Lyon

Opt for the Train**: The high-speed TGV train is one of the most efficient ways to travel from Paris to Lyon, taking about 2 hours. Book your tickets in advance on the SNCF website for the best prices, as fares increase closer to the departure date.

Consider Timing**: If you're traveling during peak hours (weekdays and Friday afternoons), book your train early to secure a seat. Early morning or late evening departures can also help you avoid crowds and may offer lower fares.

Luggage Limitations**: While trains have generous luggage allowances (usually no weight limit, just size restrictions), check your bus or flight provider’s rules. For the bus, smaller bags are often required, and flights may have strict carry-on and checked baggage policies.

Plan for Food and Comfort**: On the TGV, dining options are available, but you might want to bring snacks and water for the journey. If you choose a bus, be aware that amenities can vary; some services offer refreshments, while others do not.

No Border Crossings**: Traveling from Paris to Lyon stays within France, so there are no border checks. However, ensure you carry valid identification and any necessary travel documents, especially if you're a non-EU citizen.
