Summer vacations in Lyon: what activities to do?

Published on 20/12/2020

The weather will be nice and warm: here are some ideas of activities to do during the summer vacations in Lyon.

Often known for its endless traffic jams, under the Fourvière tunnel, Lyon is now a city not to be missed. Did you know that the city has received several awards? The 'Best European Weekend Destination 2016' and the 'European Capital of Smart Tourism', ex aequo with Helsinki.

Lyon is therefore a city where it is not only good to live, but good to stay, whether with family or friends.

But what to do in Lyon?

With friends, we recommend an unusual Segway ride to Fourvière. The unusual side and speed will delight all the members of your group.

As a family, the best plan is to rent a bike or an electric bike. And it's a good idea! At Mobilboard, we offer a rental service for urban bikes and electric bikes, children's bikes from 6 years old and even child seats for a great family outing.

Some other good plans at less than 2 hours from Lyon :
- A hike in the Auvergne volcanoes chain at 1h45
- A nice electric scooter ride around Lake Annecy at 1h30
