I want to return to Lyon if only to stay in this apartment. In
Vieux Lyon, the apartment is in an old building with kitchen, bath, etc thoroughly updated. It was a 10 minute walk from the Roman Theater and Museum, the Cathedral, Basilica, and other magnificent views of the city. A 5 minute walk across the Soane to the shopping district. The few minutes away though made such a difference in being away from the crowds and noise.
The windows look over a courtyard and rooftops, and we could heath the bells of the church in the morning.
Very cozy rooms including the loft, and comfortable sofas for lounging with coffee in the morning. Great restaurants are just a few minutes away.
The apartment is up a short steep hill, if you are driving better to drop your luggage at the bottom of the hill by the church and walk as the street is a dead end.
