We had a wonderful stay at Odile’s place. Her husband Frederic met us and showed us around. It was a very comfortable place to stay.
We loved the location. Yes it is a very busy little street, but it’s fun to watch the world go by from your window. It is a pedestrian street, so no vehicle noise. And it’s very quiet in the morning and at night. The building is beautiful and historic. A walking tour guide told us the height of the tower used to indicate the wealth of the building owner, and the tower at Odile’s building is very high.
I wouldn’t want to stay in any other area in Lyon - we were very close to the metro, the Cathedral, the funicular up to the Roman amphitheater and La Basilique Notre Dame de Forviere, the Gagne Muséum, the Irish pub (James Joyce) for a night cap and an English speaking bartender. A lovely little boulangerie across the street and great food all around. Ice cream! Try the Food Traboule for an easy and fun dining experience
