Four month vacation stay which was lovely. The flat overlooks St Nizier Church on a quiet cul-de-sac with no traffic. The apartment is quiet, light, airy and breezy with a gorgeous panoramic view of St. Nizier Church and The Fourviere Cathedral and little Eiffel Tower on the hill. The apartment has good effective use of space. We could easily walk to St Antoines Market on the Saone for fresh vegetables, fruits, seafood, flowers and meats. According to our cooking school teacher Lucy Vanel, at Plum Cooking,it is one of the best in the city. Several groceries are a block or two away. We cooked frequently in the apartment and found the kitchen easy to use with all the necessities one could need. The area is a cook's paradise.
Restaurants and bakeries abound, just steps away.
There are many concerts venues within a few blocks walk. The area is full of speciality shops for clothing and cookware.
Lyon public transportation is excellent and the flat is located 2 short blocks from the subway and buses. It is very easy to get around.
The location in Lyon is excellent within minutes of both the Rhone and Saone. A 20 minute walk will take you to the silk district, the Parc tete d'Or, the outdoor swimming pools, Vieux Lyon, and Bellecour.
We could not have been happier and would eagerly return for another long visit. Anne and Ettiene were very helpful with check in and making recommendations. They were very responsive to any questions we had. Our heartfelt thanks to them for a glorious stay in Lyon.
