I was in Lyon, France last week where I used to live in my youth. I was looking for souvenirs to bring back with me as a gift for someone, but found nothing that would interest my girlfriend. I was looking for something that was typical "Lyonnais", but mostly found only soccer stuff. I look at the airport and at the Le Part Dieu shopping centre, but found nothing.

Now that I am back home, i would like to know if there is any souvenirs I can buy online. Something that would interest a girl that never been to France and doesnt speak french at all.

I'm planning a trip to Lyon and was just wondering if anyone could give me their personal opinions about the following tourist attractions:

·Saint Jean Cathedral

I've done some research on each of these such as visiting websites etc.
Just wanting some personal opinions of the attractions.

P.S. I was also wondering if anyone could tel me about the quality of these two restaurants and the Park & Suite Part Dieu hotel.
MOMMESSIN RESTAURANT ET VINS
LE CANUT ET LES GONES

Thanks again.

Hello

I was wondering if anyone can help me - I am going to Lyon next Saturday and am planning on taking the Satobus from the Airport to the city centre. Firstly, is this a good idea as opposed to a taxi?

I am staying at the Grand Hotel Boscolo on Rue Grolee so if I do take the Satobus, where should I get off and how far is it to then get to my hotel? I don;t want to have to carry my luggage for too long as am going with my girlfriend and she is likely to pack everything!

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I read about your comments on the youth hostel in Lyon, neatly located on the hill. I am planning to visit Lyon in November, and I thought of booking this hostel. I have stayed in a few youth hostels in Europe like Paris, Amsterdam and UK. My concern is very much on safety. I am fine with rowdy environment like drinking & socializing as long as the bedroom is quiet (well depending on the roomates but generally all travelers are very considerate).
Is YFH @ Lyon recommended?

Looking forward to your reply: )

What is best station to use for train to Paris

What is best way to get train ticket from Paris to Lyon from Paris airport?

I'm visiting Lyon for a week in September and was hoping to go on a couple of day trips. I'm going to Lyon by train and so will be relying on public transport. I was considering Grenoble and Saint Etienne, are they worth seeing or would you recommend somewhere else?

Thanks,
Jon

Could anyone tell me how much it is for a beer in Lyon? I was shocked by the price of a beer in Paris, is Lyon much cheaper? How much is a beer (250ml or 500ml) in a touristy pub in Lyon? Are there any places in the city that brew their own beer?

Thanks,
Jon

We are travelling to Lyon in early January 2008 and would like to go snowboarding in the area. What is the closest place and how do we get there. Or is there another town where the Eurail stops that is closer to a snowboarding place?

i am trying to get a daily cruise on the River Saone in France for late July, I have tried several websites but they all say 7 day cruises

We are visiting Lyon in Late July,I have a young child aged 6 is there anywhere in Lyon for me to take him. He won't want to visit all the museums etc.

I am trying to find out if there is a TGV from Lyon airport (Aeroport Lyon Saint Exupery) to Avignon for 13.6.07. Some websites say there is and others don't even recognise the airport station. Any help on this would be good. If there is no such train, can I catch a train into Lyon town and then to Avignon or do I need to catch a taxi or bus - hope not as we are travelling from Australia and not looking for too many side trips. Have asked a travel agent and they are no help.

Thanks

Carey

we are traveling to Lyon in late July, please could you give me some of your reviews about the local sights to visit in Lyon.
