Les Troits de Lyon, meaning the “rooftops of Lyon” is an apt name for this apartment. Located on the 6th floor of a historic building on Rue Lanterne, the views of the neighborhood and city were magical. The owners, Michael and Julie, did an amazing renovation of this space, transforming it into an apartment with old world charm with all the modern amenities and conveniences. The beamed high ceilings made the space feel large and the seven windows provided a panoramic view and cool cross breezes in the evening. Everything was very high quality and the space was very relaxing and inviting. The apartment was very clean and well cared for and this contributed greatly to the quality of our experience. We enjoyed pulling a couple of chairs up to the window at night to sip some wine while soaking in the view of the illuminated St. Jean Bascillica perched on the hilltop across the Saone. Our only recommendation would be to add more storage space for unpacking, as there was essentially none-perhaps shelving in the bedroom or reorganizing the closet space could accomplish this. There is a washer but no drier but if you set up the drying rack and open all the windows, the clothes will dry rapidly. The neighborhood has some nice restaurants and pleasant cafes and is just a few steps away from the Saone and a few more to the Rhone rivers. The monoprix supermarket is just up the street which makes for a convenient place to shop. The street is of course old and has its charm but also its sketchy spots (x-rated shop) and is dark. Lyon had some very interesting sites and was a great launching pad to the Beaujolais region and the Alps. We were, however, disappointed in the rampant graffiti, the desecration of Roman ruins and historical buildings. It was also dirtier than other cities we had visited in France. We found the people in Lyon to be much more friendly than some other parts of the country and also more laid back. Michael and Julie live in the building and were very accommodating. Michael carried my wife’s suitcase up the never ending staircase upon arrival and spent nearly 45 minutes with us reviewing the apartment necessities and showing us points of interest on the map. They clearly take pride in their restoration and have maintained it extremely well. I would highly recommend this lovely apartment to anyone planning to visit Lyon.
