Description of the home we are offering for exchange
February 17-March 3 / April 13- April 28 – Open to any destination (Amsterdam preferably).
Our flat is on the second ground of a 5-floor building and has been fully renovated in 2020.
The entrance opens onto a large living-dining room with American-style kitchen. The living room is perfect for both meals and watching films on our video projector (no TV). The lounge is extended by a balcony (2 benches and a coffee table) with an unobstructed view (no direct neighbours). The dining room is suitable for 6 people. The open-plan kitchen is equipped with the latest appliances (oven, microwave, dishwasher, induction hob and extractor fan). Small appliances are also available (kettle, pancake maker, mixer, beater).
On the other side of the flat, the sleeping area is divided into 3 bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate toilet. The master bedroom has a double bed (160cm) and a large dressing room. The second bedroom has a 140cm bed and two further beds can be provided in the study, which converts into a bedroom (140cm sofa bed).
The bathroom has a shower and bathtub, as well as a washing machine.
Very good wifi (400 Mbps - we both work from home) - we can leave you 3 bikes (stored in a bike garage in the building).

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
We live in the pleasant historic district of Gratte-Ciel, famous for its 1930s Art Deco architecture and pedestrianised streets. At the foot of our building, you'll find a wide range of shops (supermarket, grocery shop, bakery, cheese shop, butcher, bar, restaurants and boutiques all within a few minutes' walk). We also have a market (Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings).
We live just next to the famous TNP theatre and the large town hall square with its fountains.
Our flat is ideally located: 5min walk to the metro, 15min metro or bike ride to Lyon city centre. Just 10 minutes by bike to the Parc de la Tête d'Or. Many buses are also just down the road. Parking is available on the main market square (except on market days) or in the side streets.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Lyon, the gastronomic capital of France and France's third-largest city, is a very pleasant place to visit. It's full of treasures: Lyon's 'bouchons' (typical restaurants), national museums, the old town, the river banks, the large Tête d'Or park, etc. Having lived in the region all our lives, we can recommend many places, activities and good ideas for visiting Lyon and the surroundings. We also know the countryside around Lyon very well (Beaujolais, the Pierres Dorées region and the vineyards), which is well worth a visit.
Thanks to its strategic location, Lyon is also within easy reach of the rest of France: 1.5 hours by train to Marseille (sea), 1.5 hours by train to Paris, 1.5 hours by car to the Alps, mountain lakes and ski resorts. Lyon-Part-Dieu train station is a 20-minute walk from the flat, and the airport is less than 1 hour away.
