They were approximately the same as the fare to CDG, last winter at least. The benefit is that if you are planning to go to Nice/So of France, the rental cars are cheaper in Lyon and you are that much closer. Plus Lyon has some of the charm of Paris, without the LA sprall feel. Good restaurants and shopping too.
