"La Terrasse" is a small but wonderful flat near Lyon's Gare Part Dieu. It
is just the right size for two people, with all standard conveniences and
some great extra features. One of them: you climb a spiral staircase from
a lovely courtyard to reach the flat, but your luggage arrives by an
ingenious elevator designed by your host. Another: a delicious breakfast
arrives the same way. And finally, the host himself, Jean Francois Gonnot,
is one of the nicest and most helpful people you will ever meet. We
arrived in Lyon from Lille after a day of train cancellations due to
railroad strikes. Jean Francois monitored our progress and very kindly met
us at the station, making an easy end to a long day. On top of that, he
turned out to be a great conversationalist and an accomplished chef. So if
you are about to spend a night or two in Lyon--here is the place for you!
