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.

They don't have any other main course offerings, unfortunately, but there is a good variety of flammekeuches to choose from, as well as a plat du jour which changes daily. The interior is calm and comfortable. Perfect for a casual lunch or early dinner.

The homemade lemonade was delicious and worth going back for but the food was absolutely nothing to…read morewrite home about. The Flammkuchen is nothing more than dough baked in an open-fire oven with toppings. Sounds like pizza? Yes, but with no tomatoes. As for the desserts, they were somewhat tasty but really nothing more. The advantage of this restaurant is that it is really one of the very few in the neighborhood. When you think that they are across the street from one of Lyon's popular cinemas, I can't explain why they are not open at the week-end when most people go to the movies and would love to grab a bite afterwards.
