As with all big cities, it’s easiest to navigate parking in Lyon with a few insider tips, especially with a larger Class C RV. To begin with, there are two different zones:

• Zone presto, which is more suitable for retailers and short-term parking.
• Zone tempo, which is paid parking from Monday to Saturday, from 9 am to 7 pm (except in August)

If you want to travel within the city, a camper van rental will likely be the best option, as it’s more compact, especially as most parking areas in Lyon have restricted heights. The most accessible parking garages for your camper van are:

• Parking Bonnefoi (9ft 2in maximum)
• Parking Saint-Antoine (6ft 8in maximum)
• Parking Marché Gare (7ft 6in maximum)
• Parking P2 Cité Internationale (8ft 10in maximum)

Before you return your roadsurfer camper van, you can refill with diesel and AdBlue at one of these convenient gas stations near our location here:

• E.Leclerc, Zac des Baterses, Chem. des Malettes, 01700 Beynost (You can refill your AdBlue tank here on the truck side.)

We know it can be tricky to find places to fill your water tank at the start of your trip or empty your grey water tank before you return your camper van rental. Here are a few helpful pointers, because emptying black water is not something you can do everywhere. The following service areas are close to the roadsurfer station:

Want to spend some time in the city of lights and eat delicious French cuisine? You can visit Lyon all year round due to its mild and sunny climate, but it’s particularly wonderful during spring, summer, or fall. It’s a convenient starting point for a road trip due to its close proximity to the stunning surrounding areas, like the many lakes and several national parks, as well as the Alps.
