At first I thought there is no way I would last 5 days on this boat, as it was a bit cramped and not all the conveniences of a big apartment or hotel. That soon changed quickly! The location is ideal and interesting. You watch from the deck all the activities of the river and people going by. The location was great - to walk to old Lyon and all the other places that are centrally located. It was very convenient having a train location so close by. The hosts - Colette and Phillipe - are very nice and accommodating and made our visit to Lyon a memorable one.
