Advantages: Wonderful city Disadvantages: Pollution
stay in the Part-Dieu area, or even if not, you will probably spend a decent amount of time here. Other areas in Lyon though are for example, 'Vieux Lyon' or 'Perrache'. Your best bet is to use something like Expedia to research hotels that fit your price range and then see what area they are in then. However, I would recommend staying either around the Perrache area or Part-Dieu.
Duration of stay
I would personally say that a stay of 3 or 4 days would suffice to see the vast majority of Lyon. I went from Tuesday to Friday and I managed to do everything I wanted to in that time. However, you could just as easy spend a good week there; particularly if you plan on taking the train to a couple of places nearby (which I will come to later).
Things to see
Although as would be expected, Lyon doesn't offer beauty on the scale ...

Lyons Battenberg Cake
This has been on special offer recently in Tesco's and since the offer has been on I have been able to eat single handed 4 whole cakes. The offer being buy one get one free and for a price of £1.29 pence, which gets you the two cakes, I think it is well worth it.
The Lyons Battenberg cake has been around for years and has been one of my favourite cake time treats for many a year. The fact that this cake is so sweet really satisfies me as I have a very bad case of sweet toothitis.
The Battenberg Cake is made up of a super soft sponge centre that is in two different colours and four separate squares of colour giving the cake a chequered look. The two colours are a gorgeous pink and a light yellow shade. The whole sponge centre is wrapped around the outside with a good thick layer of marzipan ...
Advantages: Convenient and an excellent idea Disadvantages: Revolting coffee!
Lyons Fresh Coffee Bags
It had to happen really, we've had tea bags for ages and over the years several companies have attempted to introduce the British coffee drinking public to coffee bags. Lyons have now jumped on the bandwagon with their version of coffee bags.
The Product
A one cup bag of ground coffee to make a cup of 'proper' coffee in an instant. Sounds promising, doesn't it? Proper coffee without having to use a coffee maker, percolator or filter machine. Proper coffee in the same time as it takes to make a mug of instant.
The coffee bags are sold in a green foil pouch with the Lyons logo and the slogan 'Coffee Perfection Since 1904' in white . The product name and details in gold and a small picture of coffee beans against a red background completes the simple packaging design. The packaging is eye catching ...
