Hello, I am planning on spending a few days in Lyon around mid of September. then resume to Switzerland and Germany by train. Looking for a budget hotel for a solo traveler. Something close to the station and not too far away from the city. TIA
Hi,
hotel Montesquieu is located between the 2 train stations, close to a tram station's stop (Guillotiere). Just have to cross a bridge to reach the downtown area. The single room is only EUR28 per night. for this rate, do not expect much

Hello thanks for the information. i am also checking priceline. Anyone has experience booking through priceline.com? do they list Hotels in Lyon. I don't seem to have luck till now.
I just cross-checked on priceline and saw that they do offer almost 100 hotels in Lyon. You can just type the airport code: LYS

You can also check the official city(s tourism office website, with english page here (as well as booking facility): http://www.en.lyon-france.com/p-417/accommodation.php

My brother and I often visit the Pyrenees by train and find Lyon an excellent halfway stop. We always stay at the Ibis Part-Dieu Les Halles. This is the second nearest Ibis to the Part-Dieu station. The rooms always seem to be good value (we've never had to pay more than 39 euros a night per room exc. breakfast), staff always helpful, rooms basic but you know what you're going to get with Ibis and they are clean, breakfast is brilliant for an extra 7 euros or so, love this chain of hotels - they've really opened up our travels around France. Admittedly some hotels can be less than welcoming (Toulouse Matabiau is a case in point) but the Lyon Part-Dieu Les Halles is fine. Directions from the Part-Dieu station are slightly convoluted, you need to go through the Part-Dieu shopping centre, go up one floor near the waterfall, exit towards the Radisson tower (very tall hotel like a pencil), continue down past Auditorium, hotel on other side of road. Surroundings pretty bleak but it's only 10 mins to station and about 20 to the Presqu'Ile.
In order to discover Lyon you do not have to make other that to walk between the 2 rivers that cross it and crossing the center climbimg on the hill that surpasses it. If you spend a night in this city you'll can't forget the magical atmosphere.
Galeries Lafayette is a French department store chain. Each storefront looks decisively different. That's why I have a tip for this in Paris, Nice, and here in Lyon. All I planned to buy on this particular outing was some scented soap for Grandma Atkins. I found just that at the Galleries Lafayette department store, scented in vanilla, chocolate, and orange vanilla. Everything that Luc and I bought seemed to be reasonably priced.
La Thou Restaurant in Bouligneux, a small village north of Lyon. It is a 2-star restaurant with excellent gourmet food.
More photos in travelogue, text later, 2002-May-04.
Besides its excellent food. The restaurant has an award-winning garden. Frogs. Red wine yogurt. Desserts. (Details later). The owner Gabriel served us. I asked him for a copy of the beautiful menu as a souvenir!
Every year there is a Brazilian festival, which is centered in the old town part of Lyon. Plenty of activities to go and do. The highlight was the parade that meandered through the streets interlocking with all the pedestrians. I don't know if I could stand to be as naked as some of them though while it's that cold out!
Two rivers run through the city but the west one, the Saone, flows into the Rhone at the south end of Lyon. The tourist is more attracted to the Saone because its west bank rises at first gradually and then as an abrupt hill called the Fourviere at whose top is a 19C Basilica and a modest sized Eifel Tower and because it holds the Old Town. The city also spreads out to the north on a plateau area called the Croix Rousse where silk weaving still occurs. We never went to the edge of the Rhone in the several days we were there. Thus our pictures are only of the Saone and two of its bridges and the Passerelle du Palais de Justice, a walking bridge.
