Time by the Riverbank in Lyon, Rhône-Alpes

Time by the Riverbank Self-Catering

Lyon is a history-steeped city full of world-class museums, fantastic shopping opportunities and secret passageways – with a serious gastronomic scene to boot. And this stylish apartment is the perfect base from which to soak it all up. Inside the home, it’s all contemporary furnishings and open-concept spaces. After waking up feeling refreshed in hotel-quality beds, spend the morning curled up on the leather armchair in the living area, a coffee in hand, watching the Rhône drift by. When it’s time for a bite to eat, serve up crêpes at the breakfast bar or try out a local cafe.

In the afternoon, tick off Lyon’s best-loved sights – visit the iconic Basilica de Notre Dame de Fourvière, stroll around the Place des Terreaux and picnic in the Parc de la Tête d'Or. Head over to the old town – a short walk across the river from your doorstep – for Renaissance-era mansions and the Cathédrale Saint-Jean-Baptiste.
