Have lunch or dinner in Paul Bocuse's restaurant, Têtedoie's restaurant*, the Terrasses de Lyon, Miraflores or the Neuvième Art, but don't miss the opportunity to taste Lyon's specialties in a "bouchon". On the program, savor delicious andouillettes, cervelles de Canut, saucisson lyonnais, quenelles or a praline pie.

Then, in the afternoon, opt for a cruise on the Rhône and the Saône. From Lyon, you will see the emblematic monuments of the city of light such as the Basilica of Fourvière, the old Palace of Justice or the Museum of Confluences. If you wish, you can even have lunch during this cruise.

Our idea of a tour in the Rhône

For a stay or a weekend in the Rhône, not far from the Haute-Savoie department, we advise you to stay in Lyon. For your accommodation, we can propose you to spend one night or more in one of the rooms or suites with breakfast included in the Villa Maïa. This spa hotel perched on the Fourvière hill will offer you a breathtaking view of the city of Lyon and sometimes even of the Alps and the Mont-Blanc if the weather is good. The spa and the treatments of this establishment will allow you to offer you an unforgettable relaxation interlude. Also, the reviews and the average score obtained by Tripadvisor customers on this spa hotel confirm that this establishment is worth the detour. 

Day 1: Visit the city of Lyon, the capital of gastronomy

After your arrival in Lyon or your night in your spa hotel, we advise you to discover the treasures of the city of Lyon. In the morning, stroll through the cobbled streets of Old Lyon, along the banks of the Saône and the Rhône and admire the old law courts, the Saint-Jean cathedral. The lunch break is coming. We suggest you make a reservation at the Institut Restaurant de Paul Bocuse in Bellecour. You will taste especially exceptional dishes. After this invigorating break, we recommend to go for a stroll in the Parc de la Tête d'Or. Finally, after this beautiful and busy day, allow yourself a relaxing break in the wellness center of your spa. You can end your afternoon by lounging in a swimming pool, a jacuzzi, a hammam, a sauna or by letting yourself be tempted by a treatment or a massage. In the evening, if you feel like it, go to the Opera of Lyon to attend a show.

Day 2: Visit of Lyon and a nearby village

For your second day in the Rhône, we suggest you go to the Basilica of Fourvière at sunrise to admire the breathtaking view of Lyon and perhaps the Alps. At noon, have lunch in a "Bouchon lyonnais" to discover the gastronomy of Lyon. Then in the afternoon, drive a few kilometers to the charming village of Oingt. There, climb the steps of the tower of the Donjon and observe from the top a breathtaking panorama of the Beaujolais and Lyonnais mountains and if the weather allows it, of the Jura and the Mont-Blanc.

The Rhône is a department that lends itself par excellence to a stay of well-being, romance and luxury because of its gastronomic restaurants, its heritage and its exceptional spa hotels. However, if you are looking for a department nestled in the Alps, we recommend Haute-Savoie or Savoie. Megeve, Aix-les-Bains, Courchevel, Morzine, Annecy, Avoriaz, Chamonix-Mont-Blanc offer magnificent spa hotels with the look of a mountain chalet.
