Dominique's apartment is a great place to explore Vieux Lyon. It's located on a lovely square (Place de la Baleine) where you can find a few nice restaurants, bars, and even ice cream parlor.

It's only one block away from the Saone river front and a 5 min. walk from Vieux Lyon metro station. It's perfect for a couple and still accommodating for 3 people (I have travelled with my 3-year-old son and my mother, who slept on the living room sofa bed). The small, but handy elevator, is a life saver in a neighborhood filled with old buildings and long stairs to climb.

I can't recommend this place enough!
