A delicious dinner with friends
"Our hosts, Joelle and Philippe welcomed us into their home like we have known them for years. The food she served was delicious and the view was absolutely amazing."
- 5.0
Excellent food
"This was a lovely evening in the home of a gracious hostess, two of her friends and another couple. Viator didn’t mention this was in a private home, so I was surprised. While it was a very different evening than I expected, it was quite fun dining with locals and being able to chat about the city and France. The food was excellent and their views were some of the best in Lyon. And their dog was adorable."
