Nice to Lyon
The Nice-to-Lyon route climbs away from the Riviera and follows the A8 and A7 north through Provence into the Rhone corridor. It is a long drive, but one that suits clients combining the Cote d'Azur with Lyon business, ski, or gastronomy itineraries. A private transfer also lets you break the trip in Aix or Avignon rather than being fixed to rail schedules.
