You can also rent a bike from Velocampus, a local rental company, which includes a tyre pump, maps for trails, and tickets to place on illegally parked cars. And if that isn’t enough, there are also river ferries and taxis to help you get around.

Getting from the Airport to the City

It’s only a two hour ride to Paris and four hours to Lyon.
