Beautiful large home with incredible view on the Saône River. Although Lyon is a busy city, this house is tucked away in a small road following the river, quite, with trees and sidewalk. Within 10-15 minutes of the Old Lyon and 30 min walk from Bellecour area where all the major shopping is.

Claire has been outstanding, greeting us all at the set arrival time (which we modified slightly via texting since we were driving from Paris), got a crib and high-chair for us for our baby, has been available all the time via phone, texting and email. She would reply within a minute! Claire has also guided us for the epiceries and fine food areas as we were here in Lyon partly on a gourmet and gourmand tour!

She also knew we were arriving late on a Sunday and that many things are closed, and some also on Mondays! - so she had left for us some coffee pods for the Nespresso machine (a must for us!), some milk and a bottle of Rhone red wine to be enjoyed.

I have quite enjoyed my stay and would gladly come back to her home next time I visit Lyon. Lyon has outstanding restaurants (highest concentration of Michelin Stars restaurants... that being said, the non-starred restaurants are also excellent!), its cheeses, quenelles, rosettes and other sausages, pastries (Sèves is a must!), bread (found 2 wonderful bakery/bread in Croix-Rousse), Phillippe Bel chocolates, Les Halles de Lyon, etc.

Restaurant 9e Art (neuvieme art) was also a wonderful experience - a 2-star.

I also quite enjoyed the history of Lyon.

We also enjoyed a beautiful full day driving the Burgundy Wine region, Cote de Beaune, Cote de Nuit (Cote d'Or). Wish we had more time for the Cote-Rotie as it is a wine I am less familiar with... and it is only 30 minutes away.

Overall, an amazing trip... only too short.
