We are a family of 6, but our 3 oldest children do not live with us anymore. We now spend our vacation either the 2 of us, or with our 15- year- old daughter. We loved all our home exchanges and really take care of the homes we go to. We like to discover new countries and people.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Enjoy Lyon and its surroundings
We live in a spacious 200m² apartment in the heart of Lyon – ideal to discover the city.
Lyon has a UNESCO world heritage historic renaissance center and its other beautiful districts – including roman monuments. Stroll on the Rhône and Saône river banks, climb the hills of Fourvière and Croix Rousse and enjoy the many views and enjoyable places.
It is easy and safe to discover Lyon by foot or by rental bike (there is several hundred rental stations at low price) – you don’t need a car.
Lyon is known for its cuisine and chefs (Bocuse, …) and you will find hundreds of excellent restaurants – of which several dozens just 5min away from our flat. Shops of all kind and Lyon’s biggest shopping mall are equally close.
A big park with a lake, a free-entry zoo and botanic garden is close. The central train station is in 10min, 2 metro + several bus lines are within 5min walking distance. You reach the airport in 30min by car or tramway.
Come and enjoy!
