We spent one night in Franck's apartment prior to taking a Viking River Cruise. We were met at the building door by Franck who showed us how to access the apartment via the elevator and got us settled in the rooms. He was very kind and friendly; the perfect Airbnb host.
We used the Metro to get into the city center for an afternoon walk in old town and dinner just off Place Bellecour recommended by Franck. There are a couple eateries right near his place for breakfast or dinner and a wonderful bakery if you love bread. They do a simple prepared lunch - sandwiches and salads.
Highly recommend Franck!
