Upon arrival, Patrick Pierre met us at the front door. Communication was a little rough due to the language barrier, but we managed to figure it all out with no major problems.
The loft was incredibly spacious and worked out wonderfully for our family of four adults and one baby. The pictures don’t do this loft any justice. You’ll have to see it in person to truly appreciate all the cool, artistic, and quirky little elements about it. The front door to the loft opens up to a public courtyard and is right next to a little market with a fruit stand. There was also a church next door with an underground crypt that is open to the public. We had no issues with noise, though.
In the loft, there was a queen bed in the space next to the kitchen area, but tastefully separated by curtains. In the bedroom, there was a double bed and bunk beds. I loved how open this loft was. We were incredibly comfortable and wished we had stayed longer than one night.
Parking was hard to find because all the spaces were taken up front and on the street, but we also visited during a busy time in Lyon. There was an event going on in Bellecour Square, so that may have contributed to the lack of parking. Fortunately, Patrick Pierre graciously offered us his parking space nearby.
The loft was about a 25-minute walk to the city center. I would highly recommend taking an Uber or bus down if you have children or trouble walking. It was steep! Make sure you wear walking shoes! We walked down but took an Uber back up (€12).
