Salut toi
I’m glad that you’re here!
Hi I’m Latifah.
I’m a Parisienne who’s a Lyonnaise at heart. Call me a Lyon-holic. After years of regular visits, Lyon has become my cité de cœur. It started when a friend studying there lived in a sixth floor walkup, and I may have begged for a spare key. *har* *har* . MY calves remember those six flights of stairs. From then on, I’d hop on the train and disappear to Lyon for weeks at a time. That studio was tiny, but it but it gave me a real base to explore the city properly, and those weeks became some of the best memories of my life. This blog is where I share years of discoveries with travelers who want the real Lyon experience.
