About Lyon 07
Where to stay in Lyon 07
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Where you stay in Lyon 07 splits between the old industrial south and the streets nearer the centre. Down toward Gerland the ground is open, built around the Halle Tony Garnier, the Palais des Sports de Gerland, and the plaine de jeux de Gerland, a working quarter of former factories and event halls that suits travellers drawn to sport, concerts, and space away from the crowds of Lyon. To the north the grid fills in.
Its streets near église Notre-Dame-des-Anges and Église Saint-Vincent-de-Paul give a denser, better-connected base within easy reach of the older core.
