Discover Lyon

A visit to Lyon is like leafing through a book: each page reveals a different atmosphere. Vieux Lyon for its Renaissance charm, the banks of the Rhône for their vitality, the Croix-Rousse for its bohemian soul, and the Presqu’île for its boutiques and museums. From Saint-Cyr, you can easily reach the center of town, while enjoying the calm and greenery on your return. Effet Lodge is the ideal starting point for discovering this World Heritage city, where gastronomy, culture and the good life are intertwined.
