La Suite Terreaux

This time I came to Lyon, France, and stayed at La Suite Terreaux, a French homestay. The most attractive reason for me to choose this bed and breakfast is that its house is super tasteful - as soon as you enter, you can see the exquisite and high-end decoration, the bedside placed vases and magazines, matching the space more hipster and warm, plus the large terrace can see the beautiful view of the square, every detail is very French. In terms of bed and breakfast equipment, I was really satisfied after using it. Wi-Fi and air conditioning and heating make it comfortable for spring, summer, autumn and winter; a cot and high chair are available for carefree, and the bathroom also has a hairdryer, toiletries and iron for those who want to carry less things, suitable for travelers who are afraid of trouble. The terrace is definitely the highlight, a cup of coffee in the morning, or afternoon tea sitting in the warm sunshine, looking at the classical architecture of the city center, is super Chill - this kind of everyday feeling in the old town of France, than usual traveling and staying in a hotel is really more personal. The surroundings of the hotel are convenient and wonderful. From the bed and breakfast walk to well-known attractions Like the art gallery, opera house, various small bars, small shops are ten minutes walk. There are many good restaurants and Cafes where you can slowly explore and feel the most authentic life in Lyon without having to go far at night. The city is full of humanity, and the nearby buildings and plaza are definitely thoughtful to take pictures, especially at dusk, when the buildings are dyed with afterglow, which is particularly beautiful for photos. Trip tip: Use a French code lock at the entrance to the homestay, which is very convenient. Don't worry about no one answering the door, but if you arrive early, it is recommended to contact the owner directly to arrange the storage of luggage. Since it is in the busy area of ​​the city center, it is very convenient to get in and out, but some restaurants close earlier at night, so remember to book a table early. Recommend you must not miss the terrace to enjoy the city view, the weather is better! Final booking tip - fine city center B&Bs like La Suite Terreaux are very popular during the peak season. The heart of Lyon is suitable for travelers who love the city and love the style of life. #Lyon Bed and Breakfast Recommendation #FrenchLife Experience #Must Stay in the Area
