Valerie and her husband were fantastic hosts..they live in a beautiful apartment in a lovely part of a gorgeous city. I really enjoyed my stay there. They were so helpful advising me on where to go and what to see in Lyon..all very accessible on foot from their home. Valerie speaks English very well and was kind and generous during my stay...they had a lovely breakfast ready for me both mornings and couldn't have been more accommodating! I would definitely recommend staying with Valerie and Laurence if you are going to Lyon.
