Taxi Fontainebleau → Gare de Lyon
Your Fontainebleau → Gare de Lyon transfer at €135–€165. 70 km via A6.
A taxi between Fontainebleau and Paris Gare de Lyon costs between €135 and €165 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 70 kilometres and a journey time of from 60 to 80 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes A6, with ~€6 in tolls. A van for up to seven passengers starts at €215. That price includes luggage, tolls and the driver's approach, and it does not move if traffic builds up: that is the difference with a metered ride, where every minute of waiting is charged and the applicable rate depends on the hour. On an unbooked ride, the amount follows the scale of the prefectoral order applying where the passenger is picked up, higher from seven in the evening to ten in the morning as well as on Sundays and public holidays. The driver tracks the flight or train number given at booking and shifts the pick-up at no extra cost if it is delayed, and cancelling remains free up to six hours before departure.

The taxi from Fontainebleau to Paris Gare de Lyon is the premium alternative to the Transilien R commuter train, particularly suited to travellers with TGV connections, bulky luggage, or tight schedules. Gare de Lyon is the departure point for TGV high-speed trains to Lyon, Marseille, the Cote d'Azur, Switzerland and Italy. It is also the terminus of the Transilien R line serving Fontainebleau-Avon, but with a 40- to 50-minute journey standing up and no guaranteed seat during peak hours, the taxi is the preferred choice of business travellers, families with children, and passengers with reduced mobility. The 60-minute door-to-door transfer ensures you arrive at the station relaxed and on time. The Gare de Lyon area also serves the Bercy neighbourhood (AccorHotels Arena, Cour Saint-Emilion with its restaurants and cinemas) and is a major hub in the Paris transport network, with connections to metro lines 1 and 14 as well as RER lines A and D.
Route
Route Fontainebleau → Paris Gare de Lyon
Your driver takes the N7 and then the A6 motorway heading towards Paris. As you approach the capital, the exit at Bercy/Gare de Lyon is reached via the inner ring road (peripherique interieur) or the right-bank express road (voie rapide rive droite). You are dropped off directly at the station forecourt -- on the mainline side or the suburban side, depending on which train you are catching. Allow 60 minutes under normal traffic conditions. During rush hours (7:30am to 9:30am, 5pm to 7:30pm), plan for up to 1 hour and 20 minutes. Tolls amount to approximately 6 euros and are included in the fare. An alternative route through Evry and the D306 is available in case of a bottleneck on the A6 near Evry-Lisses.
