Step Off the TGV at Gare de Lyon to a Chauffeur Already Waiting
Your chauffeur tracks the train, meets you at the head of your platform near Le Train Bleu and drives you on across Paris on a fare fixed before you board. Nothing is added on arrival.
The DBS EXPERIENCE Standard
Gare de Lyon is one of the busiest stations in Europe, with two halls, the great departures board and a constant flow of TGV passengers. At peak times, a vague kerbside pickup turns into a search through the crowd. DBS EXPERIENCE removes that uncertainty: the train is tracked, the chauffeur is at the head of your platform as you step down, and the fare across Paris was agreed before you boarded.

In Practice
The Executive Off the Morning TGV from Lyon
A director takes the 06:56 from Lyon Part-Dieu for a board meeting in the 8th. The chauffeur tracks the train, is at the head of the platform as it arrives in Hall 1, and the director is reviewing the agenda within minutes, well ahead of the meeting.
The Assistant Coordinating from Abroad
A London executive assistant books three Gare de Lyon arrivals in one week for travelling directors. One contact, one fixed fare per car, and an email confirmation for each train. Every chauffeur is at the right hall, on time, with no follow-up needed.
The Palace Guest Returning from the Riviera

Frequently Asked Questions
Where exactly does the chauffeur meet me at Gare de Lyon?
Gare de Lyon has two main halls, Hall 1 and 2 and Hall 3 Diderot. Your chauffeur waits at the head of your platform, under the main departures board near Le Train Bleu, with a name board, and confirms a precise meeting point by email once your train and arrival hall are known. The chauffeur's mobile number is shared in advance.
Can I book a Gare de Lyon transfer at short notice?
Yes. Our reservations desk operates 24/7 with a response time within the hour. Same-day pickups for an arriving TGV are arranged subject to fleet availability, on the same fixed-fare basis as a planned booking.
What happens if my TGV into Gare de Lyon is delayed?
Every pickup is matched to your train and tracked in real time, including TGV INOUI, TGV Lyria from Switzerland and Frecciarossa from Italy. If the train runs late or arrives at a different platform, the chauffeur adjusts and repositions. Included waiting time means a delay does not affect your fixed fare.
