Lyon Perrache
Lyon Perrache anchors the southern Presqu'île as a layered interchange of trains, trams, and long-distance coaches, where travelers constantly swap between modes with bags in hand.
About Lyon Perrache
- Second main rail station in Lyon, serving TER, some TGV and Ouigo trains, plus a major coach terminal.
- Multi-level interchange with tram and metro (line A) connections across the city.
- Left-luggage lockers are limited, standard-sized, and not always open.
- Popular departure point for budget intercity buses, so it gets crowded at peak times.
- Nearby storage partners on the Presqu'île accept large suitcases with flexible hours.
Lyon Perrache is the city's second major rail hub, at the southern tip of the Presqu'île peninsula between the Rhône and Saône rivers. It combines TER regional trains, some TGV and Ouigo services, the tram, and a busy coach station, so travelers frequently pass through with luggage while changing between train, tram, and long-distance bus. The multi-level interchange can be confusing, and its left-luggage lockers are limited and not always open, filling quickly on busy weekends. Passengers arriving early for a coach or waiting between connections need a reliable place to leave bags. Storage partners around Cours de Verdun and the Presqu'île offer flexible, longer hours for full-size cases. Dropping luggage first lets visitors wander the Presqu'île's shops, squares, and riverbanks unencumbered before their onward train or bus.

Frequently asked questions
Is there left luggage at Lyon Perrache?
Perrache has left-luggage lockers, but they are limited, standard-sized, and not always open, and they fill quickly on busy weekends. For larger bags or guaranteed space, a storage partner a few minutes away on the Presqu'île is more reliable. Booking online secures your drop-off before you arrive.
Where can I leave bags before a coach from Perrache?
Perrache's coach terminal gets busy, so it is worth dropping luggage at a nearby storage shop around Cours de Verdun rather than relying on lockers. Leave your bags first, then explore the Presqu'île's squares and riverbanks before your departure. Reserving online means your space is waiting even during peak travel.
Can I store luggage between a train and a bus at Perrache?
Yes. Because Perrache links trains, trams, and coaches, many travelers have hours between connections. A nearby luggage-storage partner charges a flat daily rate per bag, letting you sightsee hands-free instead of guarding suitcases in the concourse. Book online to confirm availability before your connection.
