There's something effusively cool about this apartment in Villeurbanne, with a hint of art deco meets mid-century modern. We can't get enough of the details, from the extravagant lampshades to the vibrant walls, everything here feels like a work of art. Not only is it aesthetically beautiful, but it's also within easy reach of Lyon's centre. Although this apartment looks artistic, it's still very liveable and homely. And when everything looks this good, even the most simple daily acts feel special. Pour yourself a fresh cup of coffee in the super sleek kitchen, pull up the mustard, velvet chair to the window in the living room, and watch the world go by from the Juliet balcony. When you're energised and ready to see the city, walk the short five minutes to the Charpennes subway station and hop on to get to Lyon Part Dieu. From there, the city is yours – the Roman Amphithéâtre des Trois Gaules, La Basilique Notre Dame de Fourvière, the Musée des Confluences, and so much more. Even just a walk around the Old Town will captivative you with its Renaissance buildings and terracotta hues. After a day of exploring, relax on your sofa with the warm-toned light setting a calming ambience, before getting ready for dinner. Your kitchen is well equipped for whipping up dinner, to be enjoyed around the chic bistro-style table. Or, head out to sample the delicious local food scene.
