Only Lyon

"Lyon is a city through which three major rivers run: the Rhone, the Saône and the Beaujolais” Léon Daudet

Keep toned!

Change scenery and go at only 10 minutes from Lyon for a day of adventure! For young and old, the Nature City Aventure Lyon offers several air and water rides, so it will be a definite change of scenery!

I love to go out at night!

It is well known, Lyon is a dynamic and warm city, but it gets very interesting at night! Concerts, festivals, nightclubs everything is there, and we have selected the best for you, all you have to do is choose:

  • Stay hip and try out the new outdoors cultural centre in the heart of the Confluence. Le Sucre is THE rooftop where you can start with an aperitif while enjoying a concert, 
    and take it into the club in a friendly atmosphere. 
  • Located in the heart of the former Gare des Brotteaux, the F&K Bistroclub is a trendy place with 
    lots of charm, perfect for simple dinners with friends or for the most party-goers who
    will dance until the end of the night.
  • Blonde, white or dark beer connoisseurs, we have the address you need you! You will find your heart's desire at the 405 beer bar, open 24/7, which even features its shop of local beer and beers from around the world. And of course, alcohol must be consumed in moderation. 

Let’s shop !

Head for one of Europe's biggest shopping centres, La Part Dieu for a shopping day on 5 floors! Have no fear, you will surely find something you like in the beauty and well-being, home appliances, books, sports stores (...), or in the cinemas and restaurants. Always very busy, the centre has also large spaces such as the benches arranged around the huge fountain where you can catch a break.

If you want to improve your knowledge...

Explore the Natural History of Societies at the Musée des Confluences in Lyon, a perfect weekend outing with your family or friends. Opened in 2014, the Museum spreads out on over 3,000 m{^>2 <^} and offers temporary exhibitions, events, a lot to explore and have fun! Read Mode

You cannot go by the Place des Terreaux without stopping before the Abbaye des Dames de St-Pierre, a Historic Monument, which has been home since 1801 to the Musée des Beaux-Arts. Enjoy the wonderful collections ranging from the time of ancient Egypt to modern art. And if don’t have enough time, you must visit the Jardin du musée to enjoy the peaceful and flowery scenery. 

Find the child in you

The Grand Caroussel, Guignol, a poney ride, the little train, the boats, the zoo, the Botanical Garden and even cotton candy will make you go crazy, so what better than a weekend at the Parc de la Tête d’Or ?
