Get ready to walk through this pretty <strong>Unesco World Heritage city<\/strong>. This little guide will be updated in terms of restaurants, bars and hotels as we go back or as our friends give us their tips.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lyon is world-renowned for its restaurants, and it&#8217;s not for nothing that it&#8217;s the <strong>world capital of gastronomy<\/strong>. I&#8217;m not particularly fond of the French Lyonnais specialties on the menu, such as cervelle de Canut, calf&#8217;s liver, grattons, tripe&#8230; but we were tempted by quenelles, bugnes and other dishes accompanied by fine wines, which we&#8217;ll mention below.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You wouldn&#8217;t think it, but Lyon is a big city and the 3<sup>th<\/sup> city in France in terms of population. We wondered how we were going to visit the city over 2 days, taking the time to wander around, but to our great surprise, the hyper-center is very concentrated and the city is easy to visit on foot. So what are the must-do things to do in Lyon?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">TABLE OF CONTENTS :<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69f46c3e9a6e7\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69f46c3e9a6e7\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/en\/weekend-in-lyon-what-to-do-in-2-days\/#_THE_OLD_LYON_DISTRICT\" >| THE OLD LYON DISTRICT<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/en\/weekend-in-lyon-what-to-do-in-2-days\/#_PRESQUILE_DE_LYON\" >| PRESQU&#8217;\u00ceLE DE LYON<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/en\/weekend-in-lyon-what-to-do-in-2-days\/#_DISCOVER_LYON_DIFFERENTLY\" >| DISCOVER LYON DIFFERENTLY<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/en\/weekend-in-lyon-what-to-do-in-2-days\/#_WHERE_TO_EAT_AND_DRINK\" >| WHERE TO EAT AND DRINK<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/en\/weekend-in-lyon-what-to-do-in-2-days\/#_WHERE_TO_SLEEP_IN_LYON\" >| WHERE TO SLEEP IN LYON<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/en\/weekend-in-lyon-what-to-do-in-2-days\/#_GETTING_AROUND_LYON_AND_THE_CITY\" >| GETTING AROUND LYON AND THE CITY<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_THE_OLD_LYON_DISTRICT\"><\/span>| THE OLD LYON DISTRICT<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We suggest an itinerary that starts with the <strong>quartier du vieux Lyon<\/strong>, the historic district where Lyon&#8217;s boutiques and bouchons are concentrated and which attracts many visitors.

They were used in particular by resistance fighters during the Second World War. There are apparently 500 in Lyon, but most of them are in the old town. [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<p>During our stroll, we took the time to scan the building entrances to unearth a few for you and suggest a pretty itinerary. In this exploration, there are 2 rules: <strong>push open the doors and, of course, be respectful of the place and its inhabitants. Allow 1h30 to 2h for our route.<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">See you at <strong>3 place Saint-Paul<\/strong>, at the junction with rue Fran\u00e7ois Vernay for a first crossing to rue Juverie. An appetizer to discover these pedestrian crossings in a district with a style marked by the Renaissance period. Nearby, you&#8217;ll find the <strong>10 rue Lainerie<\/strong>, one of the most beautiful spiral staircases.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">On your way down to the <strong>mus\u00e9e Gadagne<\/strong>. There are no traboules here, but a superb courtyard and interior garden with free access from the 3rd floor of the building are not to be missed.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Then resume your exploration of the traboules from the Place du Change, where a succession of <strong>3 traboules between rue Saint-Jean and quai Romain Rolland<\/strong>You&#8217;ll find entrances at 7, 10 and 11 Quai Romain Rolland, then at 17, 18 and 20 to reach Rue des Trois Marie. You&#8217;ll find an alternation of narrow and narrow traboules, some opening onto small courtyards with towers.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">From the same <strong>rue Trois Marie<\/strong>, at number 6, take a traboule leading you to rue Saint Jean, then continue at number 28 of the same street to join rue du B\u0153uf. (<em>The largest traboule, with double entrance<\/em>)<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pass by the <strong>Tour Rose at 16 and 22 rue du b\u0153uf<\/strong> next to the very modern food court called food traboule. (<em>I&#8217;ll tell you more about it in another paragraph<\/em>) If it&#8217;s lunchtime, this is definitely the place to stop. A revival of the concepts that began in Asia, but with a Lyonnaise twist and a gourmet touch in a very hip location. A real favorite!<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Then head for the <strong>54 rue Saint-Jean<\/strong> to take the long traboule. Nestled inside, the Coffee Shop &#8220;<strong>chez Manon<\/strong>&#8221; is also a very nice place to take a thirst-quenching break before finishing with the last 2 traboules at the <strong>14 rue de la bombarde and 68 rue Saint-Jean.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-40895\"

The heart of life when Lyon was still the city of LUGDUNUM, the 2 amphitheaters are a magnificent heritage that the city has managed to enhance by returning the site to its original use for several events a year.<br \/>\nThis is where the <strong>Famous Nights of Fourvi\u00e8re<\/strong> as well as theatrical performances and the F\u00eate des Lumi\u00e8res. So many events to see this place from another angle, but which you can simply explore as an open-air museum the rest of the year. This Roman amphitheatre has been classified &#8220;<strong>Historical Monuments<\/strong>&#8221; in 1905. The Grand Th\u00e9\u00e2tre, apparently the oldest in France, is quite impressive, with its 25 tiers of seats stretching down to the orchestra. The Odeon, a smaller 3,000-seat theater, was intended for political or philosophical orators, music and poets.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-40850\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-theatre-romain-mademoiselle-voyage.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-theatre-romain-mademoiselle-voyage.jpg 1900w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-theatre-romain-mademoiselle-voyage-300x237.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-theatre-romain-mademoiselle-voyage-1440x1137.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-theatre-romain-mademoiselle-voyage-1536x1213.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-theatre-romain-mademoiselle-voyage-800x632.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-40851\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-theatre-romain-mademoiselle-voyage-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1183\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-theatre-romain-mademoiselle-voyage-1.jpg 1900w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-theatre-romain-mademoiselle-voyage-1-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-theatre-romain-mademoiselle-voyage-1-1440x897.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-theatre-romain-mademoiselle-voyage-1-1536x956.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-theatre-romain-mademoiselle-voyage-1-800x498.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\" \/><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>4. Take a lunch break at food traboule, a great concept<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Discovering Vieux Lyon takes time. That&#8217;s why, before continuing the tour, we suggest you stop for a well-deserved lunch break at the <strong>food traboule<\/strong>, a cool local food court, housed in the famous <strong>UNESCO world heritage pink tower<\/strong>. A food court is an open-access food court, usually located in the center of a cluster of fast-food restaurants. They can be found in the USA and Asia, for example, and enable retailers to save space and service. This Lyonnais venue, run by a collective of chefs, brings together the diversity of Lyonnais gastronomy. The principle is simple: everyone orders what they want at the counter, then sits down around common areas. Spread over 3 levels, chefs prepare simple, affordable dishes in front of you. We succumbed to the <strong>Lobster rolls<\/strong> on the 1st floor, a delicious sandwich with lobster and a fresh veggiebowl salad. You can also just drink a coffee at the counter, enjoy a beer or a fine selection of wines, or take a sweet break. It&#8217;s a place we loved and not to be missed!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1527169336586{padding: 20px !important;background-color: #ebebeb !important;border: 1px solid #d2d2d2 !important;border-radius: 5px !important;}&#8221;]\n<p><strong>Practical information<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2192 10 minutes from Place Bellecour<\/p>\n<p>\u2192 Monday to Sunday, 11:45 a.m. to 9 p.m. (continuous service until 8:30 p.m. Monday to Sunday).<\/p>\n<p>\u2192 Lunch (on weekends) and dinner are by reservation at 11:45am and 7pm &#8211; and free access during the week at lunchtime.<\/p>\n<p>\u2192 Between 2.30pm and 6.30pm, you can come as you like, without a reservation, for a snack, a drink&#8230;<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-40859\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-food-traboule-mademoiselle-voyage.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-food-traboule-mademoiselle-voyage.jpg 1900w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-food-traboule-mademoiselle-voyage-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-food-traboule-mademoiselle-voyage-1440x1010.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-food-traboule-mademoiselle-voyage-1536x1078.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-food-traboule-mademoiselle-voyage-800x561.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-40863\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-food-traboule-mademoiselle-voyage-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-food-traboule-mademoiselle-voyage-2.jpg 1900w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-food-traboule-mademoiselle-voyage-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-food-traboule-mademoiselle-voyage-2-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-food-traboule-mademoiselle-voyage-2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-food-traboule-mademoiselle-voyage-2-800x600.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-40861\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-food-traboule-mademoiselle-voyage-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-food-traboule-mademoiselle-voyage-1.jpg 1900w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-food-traboule-mademoiselle-voyage-1-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-food-traboule-mademoiselle-voyage-1-1440x1010.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-food-traboule-mademoiselle-voyage-1-1536x1078.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-food-traboule-mademoiselle-voyage-1-800x561.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_PRESQUILE_DE_LYON\"><\/span><strong>| PRESQU&#8217;\u00ceLE DE LYON<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We continued exploring the city in the afternoon, starting with the Lyon peninsula.

It&#8217;s one of the city&#8217;s must-sees.<\/p>\n<p>To get there, you still have 2 options:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Paid and quiet:<\/strong> by taking the metro to the <strong>station Croix Rousse<\/strong>. Descend through the Grande C\u00f4te garden, which will take you to the <strong>Grande C\u00f4te ascent. <\/strong> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Free and sporty<\/strong> : in 15 minutes on foot, simply take the <strong>escaliers de Lyon<\/strong> on the <em>n\u00b02, rue Prunelle<\/em>. This pretty, colorful fresco (<em>which may recall the staircases of Rio de Janeiro<\/em>) was created by local volunteers. At the top of the steps, turn right to cross the pretty Jardin des Plantes, then you&#8217;ll tackle the climb up to Croix-Rousse via the mont\u00e9e de la Grande C\u00f4te.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-40873\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-croix-rousse-escaliers-mademoiselle-voyage.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-croix-rousse-escaliers-mademoiselle-voyage.jpg 1900w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-croix-rousse-escaliers-mademoiselle-voyage-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-croix-rousse-escaliers-mademoiselle-voyage-1440x1010.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-croix-rousse-escaliers-mademoiselle-voyage-1536x1078.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-croix-rousse-escaliers-mademoiselle-voyage-800x561.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-40882\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-croix-rousse-escaliers-mademoiselle-voyage-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-croix-rousse-escaliers-mademoiselle-voyage-1.jpg 1900w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-croix-rousse-escaliers-mademoiselle-voyage-1-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-croix-rousse-escaliers-mademoiselle-voyage-1-1440x1010.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-croix-rousse-escaliers-mademoiselle-voyage-1-1536x1078.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-croix-rousse-escaliers-mademoiselle-voyage-1-800x561.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1527169336586{padding: 20px !important;background-color: #ebebeb !important;border: 1px solid #d2d2d2 !important;border-radius: 5px !important;}&#8221;]\n<p>\u2192 A 10-minute walk from the Croix Rousse metro station, you&#8217;ll find the <strong> magnificent Jardin Rosa Mir on the Croix Rousse plateau, at the foot of the hospital<\/strong>.

It takes 24 hours to prepare these delicious fish quenelles, from poaching the pike to baking it in the oven for 25 minutes!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Here are some other recommended corks.<\/p>\n<p>\u2192 <strong>The golden skillet<\/strong> : <em><span class=\"LrzXr\">29 Rue des Remparts d&#8217;Ainay, 69002 Lyon<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2192 <strong>The rustic<\/strong> : <em><span class=\"LrzXr\">14 Rue d&#8217;Enghien, 69002 Lyon<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2192 <strong>The workbench<\/strong> : <em><span class=\"LrzXr\">22 Rue des Remparts d&#8217;Ainay, 69002 Lyon<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2192 <strong>Daniel and Denise Saint Jean<\/strong>: <em><span class=\"LrzXr\">36 Rue Tramassac, 69005 Lyon<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2192 <strong>Bouchon les Lyonnais:<\/strong> <em><span class=\"LrzXr\">19 Rue de la Bombarde, 69005 Lyon<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2192 <strong>M\u00e8re Jean<\/strong><em>: <span class=\"LrzXr\">5 Rue des Marronniers, 69002 Lyon, France<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2192 <strong>B\u00e2t-d&#8217;Argent cork<\/strong>: <em><span class=\"LrzXr\">23 Rue du B\u00e2t d&#8217;Argent, 69001 Lyon<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"SALvLe farUxc mJ2Mod\">\n<div class=\"i4J0ge\">\n<div class=\"EfDVh mod\" lang=\"fr-FR\" data-attrid=\"kc:\/location\/location:address\" data-md=\"1002\" data-hveid=\"CD0QAA\" data-ved=\"2ahUKEwik_KyW5OPsAhUE4BoKHZePAHsQkCkwGnoECD0QAA\">\n<div class=\"Z1hOCe\">\n<div class=\"zloOqf PZPZlf\" data-dtype=\"d3ifr\" data-local-attribute=\"d3adr\" data-ved=\"2ahUKEwik_KyW5OPsAhUE4BoKHZePAHsQghwoADAaegQIPRAB\">\n<div class=\"GDRHkb\" data-at=\"5\" data-uid=\"1\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"GDRHkb\" data-at=\"2\" data-uid=\"1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_40884\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-40884\" style=\"width: 1900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-40884 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-bouchon-lyonnais-mademoiselle-voyage.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"867\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-bouchon-lyonnais-mademoiselle-voyage.jpg 1900w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-bouchon-lyonnais-mademoiselle-voyage-300x137.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-bouchon-lyonnais-mademoiselle-voyage-1440x657.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-bouchon-lyonnais-mademoiselle-voyage-1536x701.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/lyon-bouchon-lyonnais-mademoiselle-voyage-800x365.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-40884\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">caf\u00e9 comptoir Abel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section i_icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fa fa-coffee&#8221; add_icon=&#8221;true&#8221; title=&#8221;Where to have a coffee or a drink?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1521732231606-6bdc0ddf-e478&#8243;][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221;]\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Have a drink<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: book antiqua, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Lyon peninsula<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2192 Go to the 7th floor on the roof, to the <strong>Muses of the Opera<\/strong>.

We love authentic, elegant and intimate hotels, and this one fulfills all the charm criteria we look for when we travel. It&#8217;s a hotel where you&#8217;ll feel right at home, tastefully decorated by Lyonnais decorators, Maison Hand, in an elegant vintage style. Each piece is therefore unique and authentic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The hotel is not large, as it has <strong>21 spacious, comfortable rooms<\/strong>. The little extra of this beautiful hotel are these <strong>3 ambiances spread over 3 levels<\/strong> that will delight fans of the 70s or those who prefer a more cocooning atmosphere. We were lucky because we had a large, quiet room facing the basilica.<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The hotel also features a restaurant, <strong>l&#8217;Artichaut<\/strong>, featuring local, seasonal cuisine concocted by their chef. Their breakfast is also very good and varied. We chose to sample the famous <strong>cervelle de canut<\/strong>, a fromage blanc beaten with olive oil, chives, parsley, tarragon, garlic and onion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We really liked the small lounge area, with its large velvet sofa, and the Parisian bistro-style bar area, ideal for relaxing before dinner. One of the big advantages of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/fr\/de-l-39-abbaye-lyon.fr.html?aid=1792419&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Abbaye Hotel<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, is that it&#8217;s within walking distance of some of Lyon&#8217;s best bouchons.
