Parking And Traffic Information In Lyon

As the third-largest city in France, driving in Lyon can be busy. Much depends on the time of day and also the season during which you visit. It's wise to allow extra time for your journey if you're driving on a particular schedule. To find your way around in Lyon itself, you'll benefit from a sat nav or a street map, because many signs in the city are for local areas, which may not be familiar to you.
