The view is amazing. You look directly onto St. Jean the baptist Cathedral, next to Roman Ruins, and on top of the hill is the the Notre Dame cathedral. All of these are bathed in light at night making for a spectacular display each night before you retire.
The location is perfect. The metro is a block away and Old Lyon right at your doorstep. The pedestrian bridge across the Soane River to Central Lyon is right outside your doorstep. Laetitia was very helpful mapping out the locations of the local laundromat, boulangerie, and metro stop. A great experience in Lyon - a beautiful, vibrant city.
