How do I get to Lyon from the Effet Lodge guest house, and how long does it take?

You can use your car, a bike or, ideally, public transport – it’s all very easy from home.

The Les Ormes bus stop, just a few meters away, is the stop for the 20 or 71 to the Gare de Vaise metro station. The D metro line serves Vieux Lyon, Place Bellecour and the entire TCL network. It takes around 15 minutes to get to Vieux Lyon.
