Le Jardin de Beauvoir

Mimi and Nicolas are the quintessential hosts offering their 19th century estate home in Saint-Just, Lyon's 5th arrondissement, high above the bustling streets of Vieux Lyon. Visitors find behind a simple wood door in the stone wall and up some stairs a very special, quiet, private refuge. The house is completely renovated with contemporary rooms fully restored with the very latest amenities. The breakfast rooms located in their residence are replete with many pieces of art from paintings, photographs, posters to sculpture and furniture. Mimi prepares a sumptuous breakfast of breads, jams, meats, and the best scrambled eggs ever! Lower Lyon is accessible by steps and walkways or by the nearby funicular. Extensive Roman ruins are a short walk up from Saint-Just. A short walk up the street from their home are several fine restaurants, particularly Le Bistrot Nicephore. Also, there are banks, pharmacies, hairdressers and more. For a small fee Mimi and Nicolas provide a covered, locked garage if you have a car. This is simply the very best place to stay in Lyon at the very best prices and with the very best hosts. Plan to stay awhile because you won't want to leave.
