Large house with swimming pool near Lyon ideal for families with children

Close to birdwatching, cycling, and more, this family-friendly vacation home brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 14-minute drive to Bellecour Square or the 17-minute drive to Part Dieu Mall (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

Relax by the outdoor pool or sip a drink in the garden of this 2153-sq-ft vacation home, which also features a deck or patio and outdoor furniture. For a change of scenery, come inside and try your hand at table tennis, or enjoy the free WiFi and TV.

This 5-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom rental features a living room, a dining area, and a BBQ grill. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And because there's a washer and dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
