Yoga retreat center
👍👍 A cocooning place in a quiet street in the heart of Lyon between the opera and Place des Terreaux where the welcome from Hannah and Kim is always warm. It's very beautiful, special mention to the staircase wall painted by the talented artist Florina Aledo Pérez and the soft paintings in the main roo...

La Galerie Valérie Eymeric - Art Contemporain
Art gallery
👍👍 ABSOLUTELY GREAT. Such execution and mastery for this new exhibition on contemporary transhumanism. I feel all the quintescence of the tumults of the bourgeois class slowly drifting towards an existential void in the name of which the throes of time paralyze us and push us out of time and the philo...

Atelier De Tissage Mattelon
Museum
👍👍 The best place in Lyon to understand the weaving trades and their complexity. A place steeped in history from which fabrics worn on fashion catwalks and even the fabrics used to make Queen Elizabeth's wedding dress came out. One of the guides and restorers is Mattelon's son. And to continue the dis...

IN THE WOUP

👍👍 I wondered who this street artist was when I saw his mosaics in different cities in France and particularly in Lyon. After coming across an interview with him on Radio Nova I was finally able to put a name to this artist!! And I love what he does because these mosaics are original and often related...

Arbres mangés par les castors
Garden
👍👍 It is therefore at the junction of water and land that this major work of Lyon's heritage is erected, challenging the Fourvière basilica in the distance. The work carried out by these beavers calls into question through this act of degradation our close bond with Mother Nature. Embracing the neo-cla...

👍👍 Visite prévue et imprévue à la fois ! Nous sommes arrivés sans savoir qu'il fallait réserver au préalable. Mince. Heureusement pour nous, le responsable a accepté de nous laisser entrer. Nous avons pu découvrir plus en détails le judaïsme, et avons appris plein de nouvelles choses. La visite s'effec...

Atelier de soierie - BROCHIER SOIERIES
Fashion accessories store
👍👍 Very interesting demonstration of creating prints on fabric. They have a huge collection of old printing blocks. In the shop you can buy scarfs made by the atelier. Definitely worth a visit. I made a photo of the entrance from Rue Romarin

Porte de la Roseraie
Botanical garden
👍👍 The quietest part of the park and where people venture there less often. You obviously have to walk to access it from the children's gate or the tete d'or entrance but the rose garden is very well maintained. Access can also be made by tram to the international city. Great discovery

La Vague Des Remparts / Parc Blandan
Park
👍👍 Very nice place for children.. The wave of the ramparts, which reenacts on the Blandan site an attack on the 19th century fortifications, in front of a collapsed wall, facing the new Place d'Armes, triggered collective child and family hysteria from the day of its opening by being literally beset b...
