Lyon Fam Trip

Fran (Assistant European Manager) and Gina (B2B Sales Manager) recently hosted a 2 night familiarisation trip from London to Lyon by train for coach operators and group travel organisers. We wanted to highlight the advantages of travelling by train for groups.  The Eurostar/TGV and European rail network opens up a lot more of France, Belgium, Germany and beyond other than the normal ‘hub’ destinations of Paris & Brussels.

After meeting up at London St. Pancras we travelled by Eurostar to Lille where we changed onto the TGV that would take us directly down to Lyon within a few hours.   We enjoyed a walking tour of the city which showed us some of its’ historical highlights, enjoyed dinner in a local traditional restaurant, walked around the delightful Christmas Market as well as seeing some of the hotels we use in Lyon for our city breaks. Some even took the opportunity of a ‘2 river cruise’ to see the city from a different perspective.

The trip was enjoyed by all and we can highly recommend Lyon to be included in your future tour planning and especially a train tour!
