Lyon to Dijon Route Overview

The Lyon to Dijon route follows the historic Paris-Lyon-Marseille railway north through the Saone valley into Burgundy. Regional trains make the route useful for wine-area stops such as Beaune, while faster TGV INOUI services usually run with fewer calls. A distinctive part of this trip is the approach through the Cote de Beaune wine country south of Dijon, with vineyards visible near Beaune and Meursault on clear sections of the line. Seat reservation is compulsory on TGV INOUI, while TER tickets are generally valid for the selected regional service or fare conditions and do not always include an assigned seat.

Lyon to Dijon Map

The Lyon to Dijon rail route runs north from Lyon Part-Dieu through the Saone valley toward Burgundy. TER stopping patterns commonly include Macon-Ville, Tournus, Chalon-sur-Saone, Chagny, and Beaune before Dijon Ville. TGV INOUI services use the same broad north-south corridor with fewer stops. The line passes river flats, vineyard areas near Beaune, and the southern edge of the Cote d'Or before entering Dijon from the south.

Rail vs Bus vs Plane

The train links Lyon Part-Dieu with Dijon Ville in as little as 1 hour 27 minutes, putting both stations close to each city center. Intercity buses between Lyon and Dijon usually take about 3 hours and may use coach stations that require extra local travel. Flying is not practical for this city pair because there are no regular nonstop commercial flights and airport transfers would outweigh any airborne time. Rail also produces lower emissions than car or air travel on this short domestic route.
