Lyon Airport - Lyon Part Dieu

Trying to figure out the quickest way to get to Lyon Part Dieu train station from the Lyon Airport. My flight gets in about 15:20 and I need to catch the 17:20 train to Le Puy.

Anybody know what the quickest mode of transport would be (not a taxi ;-).

Cheers all.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
The former bus between Lyon's Saint Exupéry airport and downtown has been replaced by tram line "Rhonexpress", operating from Part Dieu train station with 2 stops in between. 1 tram very 15 minutes, journey below 30 minutes. Fare 13 euros one way, 23 euros round trip
more infos on the website below (french only, so far)

Website: http://www.rhonexpress.com

But a taxi might be your best bet. Lyon is a smallish city, and the Part-Dieu train station is smack in the center of downtown.

I had to giggle a bit: the title suggests: Lyon Airport - Lyon Part God. Part Two would be Part Deux. One may hope to be with God when flying at times given turbulence, but one truly looks to move onto the second half of the story.

Hi. It's real easy. You take the Rhone Express, an express train that goes directly from the airport to Lyon Part Dieu rail station. It's real easy to find at the airport. It cost about 13 Euros one way and I think it runs every 15 minutes or so. It takes less than 1/2 hr and only has 2 stops. They have kiosks to buy your ticket near the staion at the airport. You shouldn't have any problem. We used it in Sept and Oct before and after our Chemin Le Puy. Dayton, London, Canada

I am fine tuning my packing and I pre package my vitamins/supplements to take daily, which I have done for about 15 years. Do you all take them with you, or leave them home? 36 days of vitamins...
Dear fellow pilgrims! :) I hope to walk from Le Puy to Santiago later this year. I was thinking about starting at some point in august so that I manage to reach Santiago before it gets too cold...
Hey! Thinking about walking Le Puy this year. I am a solo female traveller. On my previous Camino (Spain) I stayed in municipal albergues, but this time I would like to try something...
