Groupama Stadium AKA Parc OL
How to get to the Groupama Stadium
By Tram
Lyon is a city with an excellent tram service, rather than a train service, so you’ll be able to arrive at the stadium in style. You can get the tram from Dieu Villette in the South, Vaulx en Velin La Soie and Grange Blanche. You can also get the regular lines on the T3 Transit to The Grand Large Station, which is around 700 metres from the ground. The direct line 3 goes straight to the stadium on match day from Gare Part Dieu to Decines Grand Large. This runs every fifteen minutes and is around an 18 minute journey with some additional walking for a 20km distance. The tram operates until approx 11pm.
By Taxi
Ubers are available but will cost around 25 euros from the centre to the stadium so try a local taxi which will probably be slightly cheaper.
By Bus
The closest bus stops to the stadium are Decines OL Vallee and Parc OL Stadium.
By Shuttle
There is very likely to be a stadium shuttle. We will update when we know more.
