Between rivers and hills
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.
Every season, Lyon and the surrounding region take on new colors and must-see events: Fête des Lumières, Nuits de Fourvière, Christmas markets, festivals, exhibitions or hiking in the Monts d’Or. In this section, we share our discoveries, tips and favorites to ensure that your stay is always a lively, local and inspiring experience.
