Travel
Fly into Lyon (airport code: LYS) and take the train up, which is easier and cheaper than arriving in Paris and taking the TGV (when you factor in cost of the train).

There are 3 possible train stations you can come into.

• "Fleurville" - only 1km away, but there are very few trains that stop, and it's not on the TGV line from Paris.
• "Macon Ville" is about 20-25 minutes away (try for this one).
• "Mâcon Loché" is 35-40 minutes away. Mâcon Loché is the TGV station. Book your TGV (Super Express train) ticket more than 3 months in advance for the greatest discount.

We will arrange a pick up at the station, send us your travel details at least 1 month in advance. It's 20-40 euro a trip to the station. We'll try to match you with others to save you money.

Plan to arrive before 5:30pm 12 Sept and depart 17 Sept after 1pm. Please do not schedule travel arrangements that will make you arrive late to the Program or leave early.
