How to reach Dijon (see map plus explanations, and ask questions if necessary).

BY TRAIN

The SNCF (French national railways) https://www.oui.sncf/ links Dijon with the whole of Europe either by TGV (high speed train) or through its regular railway system.

  • Paris (Gare de Lyon) - Dijon : 1 hour 35 minutes (TGV)

  • Roissy Charles de Gaulle (CDG) - Dijon : 1 hour 50 minutes (TGV) – this is convenient because you take the train to Dijon directly from inside the CDG airport

  • Lyon - Dijon : 1 hour 30 / 2 hours

  • Lausanne - Dijon : 2 hours

  • Strasbourg - Dijon: 2 hours

  • Geneva - Dijon: 2 hours

BY PLANE

You can travel to Dijon via Paris, Lausanne, Lyon, Geneva, Basel etc…

Paris has two major airports serving international flights: Orly and Charles de Gaulle (CDG) / Roissy.

From Charles de Gaulle (CDG)/ Roissy Airport to Dijon there is a direct train to Dijon in the evening from inside the airport, or you will need to get to the Gare de Lyon in order to get a TGV (high speed train) to Dijon earlier in the day. There are several options:

  • You can get the Air France bus from the airport direct to the Gare de Lyon. The bus departs every 30 minutes, and it is the cheapest and easiest option if you have heavy luggage to carry.

  • You can get the RER train (underground/subway): Take the RER Ligne B to Gare du Nord, then cross the platform and change to the RER Ligne D and get off at Gare de Lyon (2 stations). For an underground/subway map and itinerary visit www.ratp.com.

  • You can get a taxi/mototaxi/Uber straight to the Gare de Lyon (it's quite expensive).

From Orly Airport to Dijon, you may take a taxi to the Paris Gare de Lyon or take the Orlybus shuttle to Denfert Rochereau RER station, and then take for example metro 6 plus 14 to Gare de Lyon.

Lyon Airport (St. Exupéry) has an express train that brings you in 20 mins directly to Part Dieu Gare from where you can take the train to Dijon.

All Swiss airports have train or bus shuttles that bring you to the train station from that city, and from there, you have rapid direct trains to Dijon.

BY CAR
