Le Botaniste in Lyon, Rhône-Alpes

Le Botaniste Self-Catering

Found on a cobbled street at the edge of old Vieux Lyon, this apartment is cool, calm and collected. Striking, contemporary rooms with smatterings of period features create a chic yet comforting space. The rustic timber ceiling beams, hunter green textiles, old stone floors and botanical wallpaper encourage a sense of grounding – the perfect antidote to busy days spent exploring every inch of the city. In the mornings, nip up the road to the local boulangerie for a warm, flaky croissant. Spend afternoons wandering along the Saône and into the city, dip in and out of the winding streets and alleyways, stopping for a bite to eat in one of the endless traditional bouchons the city is famous for. If you wish to explore further than the historical quarter, Vieux Lyon metro station is just two minutes from your doorstep.
