Villa Florentine
Lyon
A former convent on Fourvière hill with a pool terrace overlooking the city's rooftops.
Lyon sits where the Rhône and Saône meet, and its long history shows in Roman theaters on Fourvière hill, Renaissance courtyards in Vieux Lyon and the silk-weavers' quarter of Croix-Rousse, with its covered passageways known as traboules. The city's bouchons and markets, notably Les Halles Paul Bocuse, make it a pilgrimage for anyone who loves food.
Where to stay
Vieux Lyon has the most atmospheric small hotels, set in Renaissance mansions. The Presqu'île between the rivers is central for shopping and dining, and Fourvière hill offers views over the rooftops.
Good to know
Lyon is two hours from Paris by high-speed train and a good base for the Beaujolais vineyards. The Festival of Lights in early December draws huge crowds.
