Villefranche-sur-Saône, nicknamed 'Villefranche' or 'Calade' by its residents, is far more than a simple stopover town on the northern route. As the historic capital of Beaujolais, it is the beating heart of a world-famous wine region that each year produces the celebrated Beaujolais Nouveau, whose release on the third Thursday of November is a global event. The town has a strong identity, with its nearly two-kilometre-long Rue Nationale, lined with Renaissance houses featuring remarkable inner courtyards classified as historic monuments. Villefranche is also an important economic hub in the Rhône department, with companies in the mechanical engineering, textile and logistics sectors. The taxi from Lyon is ideal for professionals heading to the Villefranche-Limas or Arnas industrial zones, as well as wine enthusiasts wanting to explore Beaujolais cellars without worrying about driving. TaxiNeo offers a guaranteed fixed rate for this short journey, providing comfort and punctuality that public transport cannot match.
Route
Route Lyon → Villefranche-sur-Saône
The journey begins in Lyon, whether from Part-Dieu station, the Presqu'île district, Perrache or any other point in the metropolis. The driver quickly reaches the Fourvière tunnel or, preferably during rush hours, the northern ring road (boulevard Laurent Bonnevay) to access the A6 towards Paris and Mâcon. The motorway heads north along the left bank of the Saône. You pass through Lyon's northern suburbs, then the communes of Limonest and Lissieu, before glimpsing the first Beaujolais hillsides on the right. The landscape quickly becomes greener, with vine- and forest-covered hills. Exit 31.1 'Villefranche-sur-Saône' appears after just 25 minutes of driving under normal conditions. You then reach the city centre via Avenue de l'Europe, which leads directly to Rue Nationale, the town's main thoroughfare. The toll on this section of the A6 is modest, approximately €3.20, naturally included in the TaxiNeo fixed fare. This route is one of the quickest and simplest departing from Lyon.

This short journey is generally very smooth, but a few precautions apply.
