transport connection is solid through the city, there's also the velov and it has a lot of stations. you should explore the old town, saint jean's cathedral…..
What kind of place was it?
Student Residence
How much was the rent per month?
430
Where was it located?
15 minutes from the Grange Blanche metro station
How can someone find this place?
website
Would you recommend it?
yes, it's very modern, but a bit poorly made. the location could be better, it takes around 30 minutes to get to bellecour. and the fire alarm would go off almost everyday, just for cooking.
What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?
i enjoyed going to kiss my erasmus events at cafe oz, for dancing and 2010s music i would recommend boston, i had fun at maison m. if you enjoy a good pint or a glass of wine, you can find that in vieux lyon. for chill after school/work drinks - broc'bar.
Which classes do you recommend… or not?
i didn't attend university, i did an internship at the school and taught english.
Do you have some tips?
i would probably not pick it again.
Best trips to do?
there's tons of little towns near lyon, you can take the train. annecy, grenoble, perouges are all great for day trips. for a longer trip, you can get to paris by train in 2 hours or so.
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Lyon?
transport connection is solid through the city, there's also the velov and it has a lot of stations. you should explore the old town, saint jean's cathedral and the notre dame basilica. for a weekend stroll i would recommend you go to parc de la tete d'or. visiting the museum is also a must: musee de beaux arts, musee de confluence and many more
lyon is very student friendly, would recommend
