Soierie Saint-Georges might be one of the most recommended silk stores in Lyon. I was told that…read moreLyon was famous for silk in history, and everyone I asked who visited Lyon in the past recommended this store. I had a very good visit. The staff at the store was very friendly and helpful. He told me that it is a family business that his father started 20 years ago and all the silk products were made locally in their workshop. Also the back room of the store showed some old machines and accessories for silk weaving that was good to check out. It is a good place to get local gifts.

I went to Lyon twice to buy their products. Absolutely the best lotion I've used. Many choices…read more A truly delightful shop

Les Halles are one of those markets in Lyon that is an obligatory stop. If you've ever been to any…read moregourmet food market in Europe this one is no exception. The flavor profile is of course lyonnaise and to no surprise Paul Bocuse photos are on every all. Others of the same stature include La Mère Brazier who also has a restaurant in her honor. The selection of every which way savor and sweet are there for the picking and let's not forget the bakeries and cheese mongers as well as charcuterie purveyors . If you leave here hungry you didn't do it right

Came with our small tour group for a tasting at this wonderful Market. All types of food on offer…read more We were presented with an assortment of typical Lyonnaise dishes to sample. Apparently this is where locals go to pick up top quality food. We were served by an individual who talked us through the offerings. Afterward we strolled around and you literally could have stayed here and eat all day. Apparently some folks do that. The place is the brainchild of the late Paul Bocuse world renowned chef. Well worth a stop if you are in town. Mark & Nancy.

This place is a maze of stores and it's not easy to navigate. Sure they have a huge Carefour,…read moreLafayette, JD, Normal, Foot Locker, Flying Tiger, McDs, and much more, but unless you've been here a few times, you easily get lost. I finally found the restrooms on an upper floor after walking for what seemed like forever and of course they charge for them, and they weren't even clean.

Shopping, shopping and shopping…read more Located across from the main train station, they have so many shops here for most everyone. Most shops sell reasonably priced items. I wasn't looking but not sure if they have high end stuff here but I guess that's what Paris is for. If I wasn't here on business, I think I would have enjoyed shopping here and possibly purchased a suitcase to take stuff home. I didn't buy anything (no rooms in my small carryon), but walked around to compare pricing with similar quality items in the US.

I absolutely am obsessed with vintage, antiques, and anything old (I have a vintage Etsy shop and…read morefrequent flea markets). So when I find a vintage store or antique shop that excites me, I have to share. This place is incredible! Such an array of vintage and antique items that to me would make for a much better souvenir than any trinket you could buy. As a Tiki lover, I found several old unused bottle labels for rum that I bought to frame and hang above my home bar. But they have everything from small items for a Euro or two, to large, antique advertising, bottles, dishes, and more. Absolutely loved this place and was so glad to have stumbled upon it!

Hey, how come this is all in French?!?! Just kidding! I love this store as it is convenient to the…read moreaction in Lyon. I can really only speak of the jewelry section, which I really enjoyed. They had a decent selection, considering it's kinda like a Macy's or something like that in the US. The cool thing is that when I was there (end of January) they were having the mandated sales in all the stores including Printemps. I got some nice stuff for 50% off!!!! It wasn't outrageous in the first place, but that sales point made the journey worthwhile!

Came here while visiting the beautiful town of Lyon was the greatest find of my whole trip!…read more Nuerjiang was the most helpful and friendly associate that we met in all of the Hermes stores that we have visited throughout Europe. He went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. I am so glad that we stopped in and met him. He took such great care of us each time that we came. The other associates were also very friendly at this location as well. He helped me find the most amazing Birkin bag here. I will definitely be back here to visit next time I am in Europe. Even my husband who hates shopping so much was so impressed that he promises he will be back to visit Nuerjiang to buy me more bags (very rare rare occurrence for him to willing go shopping).

I absolutely adored this place, and can't wait to go back the next time I'm in Lyon. Located in…read morethe charming beautiful old city, this wonderful shop has thousands of prints, engravings, lithographs, drawings, and other original art that is out in the open and categorized for you to thumb through and browse. There's everything from old maps, to street scenes, repoductions of famous paintings, animals, flowers, nudes, contemporary prints, and virtually any kind of art you can think of. Prices seem very reasonable - I got an signed/numbered lithograph from the 50's for 125 euros, and a beautiful, century-old engraving of a nude playing the violin for 10 euros. I could have looked forever, and can't wait to come back! The staff was very helpful, and packed up my purchases in cardboard to protect them during my journey.

I waited a few minutes and looked around while waiting for someone to talk to me. Julien was the employee that ended up helping me and we had so much fun together! He got me the bag that I wanted, looked up the prices in US dollars too so I could see how they compared to euros. He also gave me the "tax free" forms that would ensure that I would be able to get money back from my purchase. The others stores that I had shopped at didn't tell me about this, I assume out of laziness, so I really appreciated that. Julien was a total sweetie and I wish the SAs at my local LV were half as great as he was. Will definitely return if and when I am ever in Lyon.

Not Happy! Not that…read moreI shop here a lot, or at all, but if I am there 15 minutes before closing time and the gates are halfway down - and some bouncer look-alike guy tells me through the gate that there is a problem with the cashier's system, and that's why they are closed for a bit (conveniently until they close at 7:00 p.m. anyway), while I was ready to put down a ridiculous amount of money for an ugly sack of a purse (NOT FOR ME - for a colleague who lives somewhere where it's even more expensive), then I am NOT HAPPY! Having worked in a luxury environment myself for a long time, there are ways to deal with it, i.e. have bouncer-guy stand outside - offer alternative - take a phone number - whatever. I live next door, it's no big deal, but this was Walmart service at a LV store - wait, Walmart has nice greeters outside... Grrrrrrr - thanks for making me fight my way through traffic!

On a quest for vintage French movie posters, I visited LouLou while in Lyon. Charming part of the…read morecity, it was enjoyable just walking around the area on the way to the shop. There are reprints and commercial posters for browsing in the shop. So at first I was disappointed. Turns out that you need to ask to see the vintage posters...there are alphabetical lists and photos of all vintage posters on the PC at the back counter, and each one that I requested was brought out and unfolded for me to examine. My sole purchase was an original release "Some Like It Hot" poster with art by Grinsson - nice surprise find in this little shop! Poster was packed nicely for taking back home. Lots of other things for sale, but honestly I was focused on the posters. This is a "must visit" for old cinema poster buffs visiting Lyon!
