A Portion of Lyonnaise in Lyon, Rhône-Alpes

A Portion of Lyonnaise Self-Catering

Isn't this home just pretty as a picture? We certainly think so. Located in one of Lyon's more prestigious neighbourhoods just a few minutes' walk from Place Bellecour and the peninsula, this elegant apartment makes for the perfect pied-à-terre in this electric city. With a grand yet welcoming living space comprising of a kitchen and sociable seating area all flooded with light thanks to the huge French windows, the home feels intimate and warm, whilst exuding a typical kind of French grandeur that – for us – is très magnifique.

Here you'll find yourself close to the Cours de la Liberté with its many restaurants and shops, and you'll have only to cross the Wilson bridge to be on the peninsula itself. Spend days perusing local shops, markets, museums, and galleries, before returning to the cosy comfort and effortless style of your home away from home. Freshen up in the sleek bathroom before venturing out again to make the most of Lyon's vibrant foodie scene, or prepare something homemade in that well-equipped kitchen over a glass or two of wine.
