Le Petit Calou was the absolute perfect stay for our time in Lyon... The location in the old city was ideal for exploring the Roman ruins and the Basilica, and the wonderful Beaux Arts museum was just across the river. Although there were many tourists in the area, it was quite easy to get off onto side streets and explore! Olivier met us at the door and welcomed us with great information, not only about the immediate area, but also helped us with navigating to the Rolling Stones concert and the train station. There was a little washing machine available which was most welcome after several weeks of traveling! We found the four spiral flights of stairs to be great exercise after eating so much fabulous food in France:) and the extra bonus was the wonderful little terrace area just outside the apartment door, which was private and allowed us to enjoy several picnic type meals listening to the hum of the city with a view of the Basilica. Truly a special perch for one or two people, and an extraordinary host as well! Highly recommend this place!
