Le Café Des Fédérations

What Appricio would tell you to do in Lyon
Restaurant · Part-Dieu (3rd arr.)
Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse

Landmark · Croix-Rousse
Traboule et Cour des Voraces
A six-storey staircase courtyard hidden inside a building on Rue Imbert-Colomès — used by silk workers during the 1830s revolts and classified as a historic monument, yet most visitors walk straight…
Shop · Terreaux (1er arrondissement)
Sofa Records
Independent vinyl specialist open since 2000 with ~10,000 records across soul, funk, jazz, world, and avant-garde — the reference address for serious crate-diggers in Lyon.
Croix-Rousse
Marché alimentaire de la Croix-Rousse
A sprawling open-air market on the boulevard of the old silk-workers' hill, where Lyonnais do their real weekly shopping — cheese, charcuterie, seasonal produce, and the occasional argument about football.
Café · Monts-d'Or (greater Lyon)
