QUAI DE SAÔNE - VUE FOURVIERE
The calmness of the soft morning light filled the apartment as we sat with our café crème, baguette and the view of the Basilica of Fourviere overlooking Lyon from the across the Saône. Located on a high floor of a classic french apartment building with a lift, Emmanuel’s apartment provided us with the ideal experience of living in Lyon. Exceptionally clean and stylish with tall ceiling and windows, the apartment is ideally laid out with a nicely appointed bedroom, salon, and separate eat-in kitchen. The tastefully decorated space allowed us to relax and enjoy the moment. The kitchen came with nice touches and all the equipment needed to comfortably settle in. The building is very quiet and easy to enter and exit.
The location of apartment is perfect to explore all of Lyon. While we walked to almost everything, we also used the Metro, trams, and busses to get around town. There are several Lyon Vélo stations very close to the apartment. There are several boulangeries very close where we purchased freshly baked baguettes each morning and night. There are numerous cheese shops and several very nice grocery stores also within a few minutes walk and, of course, wine shops are everywhere. The restaurants, well, it’s Lyon, there are great places to eat lunch and dinner within easy walking distance.
Emmanuel’s place is a comfortable, classic french, stylish apartment and he is a gracious and welcoming host. We do look forward to returning to Lyon and staying at Emmanuel’s apartment on Quai de la Pêcherie.
