Lyon is one of the second largest cities in France, with Marseille – the city and suburbs cover almost half of the Rhône- Alps. This means that car hire from Lyon makes it possible to travel a huge distance without ever leaving the city – which contains a Roman theatre, excellent shopping centres, and gorgeous parks and gardens. Hiring a car from Lyon is particularly good for sports fans, and has a huge stadium, where you can catch a football match, or an athletics tournament. This vibrant city also has a zoo which is home to many exotic species, based in huge grounds.
Saint-Didier-au-Mont-d'Or is just under 20 minutes out of the city of Lyon and makes for an easy trip to see more of the French culture. It has earned the title of being one of the richest of the urban communes surrounding Lyon. For a more modern day out, rent a car from Lyon and head to Lac d'Aiguebelette, a huge turquoise lake an hour away from the city. It is kept warm by thermal springs and is lined by water houses. You can swim, but motor boats are a no go, in order to preserve the peace and quiet.
