Lyon Discount Car Hire

Car Hire in Lyon

Located in central eastern France, Lyon is the 2nd largest French city. The population is roughly 1.8 million people, making Lyon an active, vibrant French metropolis. Lyon was originally founded as a Roman colony in 43 B.C., chosen for its incredible location. The Rhone and Saône rivers converge to the south of the city. Nestled within large hills, Lyon rests on a plain that continues out to the east.

Not only is this location stunningly beautiful, it was an easy place to defend back in ancient times. With the city’s back against the mountains, and the rivers to the south, the only possible approach for attackers was through the open plains in front. Exploring your way around beautiful Lyon is so much more fun when you have your own car to tour around in. Let Auto Europe set you up with a reliable discount car hire to make your way through the city and the French countryside.
