Surrounded by the Monts d’Or mountains, Limonest offers a charming base from which to explore Lyon and the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes area.

Take a hike through the Monts d’Or along the water, towards the aqueduct, or to discover the history and architecture of nearby villages, such as Saint-Didier-au-Mont-d’Or or Saint-Cyr-au-Mont-d’Or. 

Visit the lively city of Lyon, a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its elaborate cuisine and historical heritage. Head to Vue sur Lyon for some of the best panoramic views of the city. Take a cruise down the Rhône and Saône to admire its beauty from all vantage points. Wander through Place Bellecour, the main square, to see the past and present blend together in this energetic cultural hub. 

As one of the top gastronomic capitals of the world, the cuisine from Lyon is second to none, from regional specialities at Café Terroir to Michelin-starred masterpieces at L'Atelier des Augustins, Mère Brazier, and Le Neuvième Art.
