London and Paris to Lyon
Rail add-on to a Rhone or Saone cruise: London, Paris, then Lyon.
London and Paris to Lyon is an independent rail package from Railbookers, built for travelers who want to combine London and Paris with a Rhone or Saone River cruise that starts in Lyon. Over 5 days and 4 nights, the trip begins with an airport transfer to a city center hotel in London, where travelers explore the city at their own pace. The route then continues to Paris, where the description points to grand boulevards and restaurants, before a train south to Lyon hands travelers off toward their river cruise. Because Railbookers runs this independently rather than as an escorted tour, it suits travelers who are comfortable planning their own days in London and Paris and just need the rail connections handled before their cruise begins.
