Taxi Lyon → Valence

Departure is from Lyon, typically from Part-Dieu, Perrache or any address in the metropolis. The driver reaches the A7 via the Fourvière tunnel or the southern ring road, depending on traffic. The A7, the legendary Autoroute du Soleil linking Paris to Marseille, initially follows the left bank of the Rhône. You cross Vienne, a former Roman capital whose ancient theatre and Saint-Maurice cathedral are visible from the motorway. Then come the steep Côte-Rôtie vineyards, clinging to the abrupt hillsides of the Rhône. The landscape is spectacular: the powerful river on one side, vineyard terraces on the other. You then pass Tain-l'Hermitage, dominated by its famous vine-covered Hermitage hill. A final 20 km stretch leads to Valence, whose first suburbs appear after the motorway bridge over the Rhône. Total toll is approximately €9.50, included in the TaxiNeo fare.
