We visited Lyon for Fetes Des Lumieres. When we arrived in Lyon we got a taxi to Isabelle's which cost 55 Euros (approximately 40 min distance). Isabelle met us on arrival and was really friendly (even though neither of us spoke the others language, she had a friend with her who translated). Isabelle left us travel guides, maps and drinks etc.
The apartment was fabulous, stylish and spotlessly clean.
It is in the Croix Ruisse area of Lyon and has some wonderful shops and restaurants.
We did a City Bus tour and used the metro frequently. I would definitely recommend a visit to the old town and a trip to Fourviere.
We absolutely loved Lyon , it was beautiful, the people were friendly and there was so much to do and see.
I cant recommend it enough and isabelle's home is the perfect location to do it from.
