Lyon is built where the Rhône meets the Saône, and a luxury car rental in Lyon from Zeus Prestige can wait for you at a hotel on the Presqu'île, an address in the city or Lyon-Saint-Exupéry Airport. Drive a convertible through the Rhône vineyards, a roomy SUV or prestige car to a walled medieval town, or a supercar up the steep roads of the Jura foothills.
The Romans founded Lugdunum in 43 BC; it grew into the capital of Roman Gaul. The city joined France in the 14th century, and in 1998 UNESCO listed Old Lyon, the Fourvière hill, the Presqu'île and the Croix-Rousse slopes. The Lumière brothers pioneered cinema here in 1895, and the silk-weaving past still shapes the Croix-Rousse hillside.
Lyon is the third-largest city in France, with some 519,000 residents, and its bouchon restaurants are famous across the country. The Fête des Lumières fills the streets with light for four days from 8 December. South along the Rhône, north-east over the Ain plain and east toward the Jura, the roads clear the city quickly.
Take a convertible on this drive south along the Rhône. The Côte-Rôtie vineyards stand on the western bank just south of Vienne, around Ampuis, and the name means the roasted slope for the sun that bakes them. Terraces held by stone walls climb slopes of nearly 60 degrees, planted with Syrah on the dark, iron-rich Côte Brune and the paler Côte Blonde. The appellation dates from 1940. With the roof open, the warm scent of stone and vine leaves drifts across the seats.
Go comfortably to this walled town, about 30 kilometres north-east of Lyon. Pérouges perches on a small hill above the plain of the Ain and ranks among the most beautiful villages of France. In 1167 the Seigneur d'Anthon shut its walls against the troops of the Archbishop of Lyon, and the town became French in 1601 under Henri IV. Its population fell from 1,500 to 90 during the 19th century, and restoration from 1911 saved the houses. Film crews return for its looks, and The Three Musketeers of 1961 was shot here. A plush ride and a hushed cabin set the mood for the old stone lanes.
Sports cars and supercars have the right to this climb. The Col du Grand Colombier stands at 1,498 metres at the southern end of the Jura. From Culoz the approach runs 18.3 kilometres with an average gradient of 6.9 per cent, while the ascent from Artemare through Virieu-le-Petit measures 15.9 kilometres at 7.8 per cent, with sections over 20 per cent. The Tour de France finished at the summit in 2012, 2020 and 2023. Your stomach drops on the steepest ramps, the engine roars off the rock and the view opens to the Rhône valley, Lac du Bourget and the distant Alps.
