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.
