My time with Marie-Helene and Francois was wonderful and one that I will always remember. They are very welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable people who were ready to help at any moment. They have a lovely home full of art and stories, and the bedroom is very comfortable and cozy. I visited Lyon for a short period (I would recommend at least 3 or 4 days here), and they helped me maximize my time. They even came with me on some walks and showed me a few stops! Also, I am working on improving my French, and they were kind and patient with me by speaking slower, teaching me new words, translating if needed, and kindly helping me with my pronunciation. My last night, we went to a local Lyonnaise restaurant. We had wonderful conversation about traveling, art, language, food, music, and history. It was such a joy and pleasure for me to meet and stay with them. I will definitely be returning to Lyon and hope to stay with them again! Merci beaucoup!
