This was a special place. The home's proximity to the river and to the center of the city made for a dynamic experience. Lyon is a charming and beautiful city. We loved walking around, taking in the scenery, and sampling some delicious food. We were also able to travel around and see much of what southern France has to offer. We recommend it highly! Much thanks to Laurent who made us feel comfortable and welcome.

We had a perfect time in Laurent's beautifully furnished apartment. The historic character of the building, with a stone winding staircase, gave us the impression of living in a French château! Rochetaillée is a peaceful village with good restaurants on the borders of the river Saône. Of course we visited the nearby charming city of Lyon, where you can find a lot of interesting museums, modern architecture as well as picturesque quarters and the two nice rivers Saône and Rhône flowing together in town. We also made day trips, e.g. to Avignon and Mont Ventoux, the famous Le Corbusier town of Firminy and the friendly Beaujolais wine region. This homeswap in France was really very nice!
