Dijon to Lyon Route Overview

The Dijon to Lyon route follows the historic Paris-Lyon-Mediterranee axis south through Burgundy and the Saone valley, a corridor known for wine towns rather than long high-speed sections. The most distinctive part of the trip is the run past Beaune and the Cote de Beaune vineyards before the line continues through Chalon-sur-Saone and Macon toward the Lyon metropolitan area. TGV INOUI services require a reserved seat, while TER trains on this route generally use open seating without a compulsory seat reservation. If arriving in Lyon for the old town or Presqu'ile, check whether your ticket ends at Part-Dieu or Perrache, as the two stations are on different sides of the central peninsula.

Dijon to Lyon Map

The Dijon to Lyon rail route runs south from Dijon Ville through Burgundy and the Saone valley toward Lyon. TER services commonly call at Beaune, Chalon-sur-Saone, Tournus, Macon Ville, Belleville-sur-Saone, and Villefranche-sur-Saone before Lyon Part-Dieu or Perrache. Views include vineyard slopes near Beaune, the Saone plain, and dense suburban rail approaches north of Lyon.

Rail vs Bus vs Plane

The Dijon to Lyon train links Dijon Ville with Lyon Part-Dieu in as little as 1 hour 34 minutes, keeping the trip within city rail stations. Coaches between Dijon and Lyon usually take about 2 hours 30 minutes to 3 hours 30 minutes depending on stops and road traffic. Flying is not a practical city-pair option because there are no useful direct flights and airport transfers would exceed the rail time. Rail also produces lower emissions than car or air travel on this 175 km corridor.
