Geneva day trip from Lyon, with your private chauffeur.
The Jet d’Eau, the lakeside promenades, the old town and the international district: discover Geneva in a single day, about 1 h 45 from Lyon. Your chauffeur picks you up at your door, drives you across the border, waits for you and brings you back.

Why visit Geneva with a chauffeur?
Driving to Geneva means a Swiss motorway vignette, border traffic and expensive parking in the city centre. With a private chauffeur, you are dropped off right where you want to be, from the lakeside to the old town, and picked up when you are ready.
- Swiss motorway vignette included
- Drop-off at the lakeside or in the old town
- No parking to find in the city
- Return whenever you choose
What to see in Geneva
The Jet d’Eau
The symbol of Geneva, a 140-metre fountain on the lake, visible from all over the city.
The old town
St. Pierre Cathedral, the Place du Bourg-de-Four and narrow streets full of history.
The lakeside
The Jardin Anglais, the flower clock and the Bains des Pâquis.
The international district
The Palais des Nations and the headquarters of many international organisations.
Carouge
A charming Sardinian-style town with artisans, cafés and markets.
Shopping
The Rue du Rhône and its watchmakers and jewellers.

A typical day
Your chauffeur picks you up in Lyon in the morning and drives to Geneva by motorway. You start with the old town and the cathedral, then walk down to the lake for lunch. In the afternoon, you can visit the international district, Carouge or the shops of the Rue du Rhône, before your chauffeur drives you back to Lyon.
Geneva and Annecy, or Geneva and Chamonix
Geneva combines easily with Annecy, about 45 minutes away, or with Chamonix and Mont Blanc, about an hour away. We can plan a longer day to see two destinations, with a comfortable return to Lyon in the evening.
Business visits
Geneva is also a major business city. For meetings at international organisations, banks or companies, your chauffeur waits between appointments and drives you back to Lyon or to Geneva airport for your flight.

Every booking is confirmed in writing, with your chauffeur’s name and number sent before departure, and a contact remains available throughout your day. On board, you will find bottled water, phone chargers and Wi-Fi, and our vehicles are recent, spotless and fully insured for passenger transport.
Whether you are visiting the region for the first time, showing it to family and friends, or organising an outing for clients or colleagues, we make sure your day runs smoothly from the first minute to the last.
Geneva in every season
In spring and summer, the lakeside comes alive with terraces, swimming spots and boat trips. In autumn, the parks turn golden and the city is calmer. In December, the Christmas markets and the Escalade festival bring a festive atmosphere to the old town. Whatever the season, your chauffeur adapts the day to the weather and to your wishes.
From the airport or the station
The day can also start at Lyon Saint-Exupéry airport or Part-Dieu station, for travellers arriving in the morning.
