We propose for exchange a comfortable & very quiet flat, with garden and surrounding trees, in Lyon 5th arrondissement.
Lyon is the second city of France, and the old town, looking like a Renaissance City, is part of the UNESCO heritage - Our home is 10mn walk away from food stores and convenience, 20 mn away by public transport from the Old Lyon Historical center and the Presqu'Ile shopping area/Bellecour square. 10 min by car from the magnificient Fourvière Basilica. 15 min by bus from the Perrache train station and half an hour drive away from the famous michelin starred restaurant of Paul Bocuse.
The city is crossed by two rivers, is full of museums and nice places to visit, and proposes plenty of small and great restaurants (including Paul Bocuse's 3 michelin star- restaurant on the outskirts)
