The Bateau Fripenne is a hidden paradise set in the centre of Lyon. It is easy walk to everywhere in the city. David and Christian are superb hosts - welcome drink, tips on where to visit, serviced the accomodation each day, welcome fruit platter and chilled water. They live on the boat but are totally separate from the guest accommodation which has a private entrance. We took advantage of the breakfast (at cost) on our last day which was delicious and simple. We would stay again without hesitation.
