Views over Lyon

Stepping into this property feels like stepping into your own private haven high above the hustle and bustle of central Lyon – although the city's fabulous restaurants, cool bars populated by even cooler locals, and culturally-enriching museums are all within easy reach of this twelfth-floor apartment. The quirky kitchen/dining area finished in a mood-boosting palette of tangerine orange, sunny yellows, and vermillion contrasts with the characteristically neutral tones of the city that breathes beyond the balcony, providing a picture window through which to appreciate the unique charm of France's second-largest city. Lyon is known for its delectable gastronomical offerings. From high-end restaurants to hole-in-the-wall brasseries and cafes serving headily aromatic coffees paired with buttery-soft pastries, Lyon is fantastic for foodies (if not for the waistline) – so be sure to get out and indulge in as many of the city's distinctive, delicious flavours as you can. Perhaps, once you've found your favourite dish, you can pick up the ingredients needed to replicate it. Head back to the apartment to cook up your own variation – best enjoyed on the balcony with the sights of the city and the sounds of its inhabitants serving as the perfect accompaniment. Well, that and a glass of wine from nearby Cotes De Rhone or the Beaujolis.
