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.

Going to LYON, FRANCE akaThe Gastronomy Capital of the World??? Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse is a…read moreMUST! The late, great Chef Paul Bocuse IS Gastronomy and IS Lyon. This food hall features the "Best of the best of Lyon and other regions of France. You can dine in at a few restaurants inside, feast on some of the FRESHEST seafood, charcuterie, foie gras, Lyonnaise specialities, and be sure to save room for dessert and sweets from some of Lyon's top patisseries inside. Workers inside are very polite and very accommodating, also very appreciative of our attempts to communicate in French. It is Gastronomy overload here as we visited two days in a row. We feasted on Oysters, shellfish, charcuterie, wine and cheese, and even Lyonnaise specialities like Andouilette and Salade Lyonnaise. Lots of variety here. Price points for food items here are justified, even cheaper than what we pay in the U.S. This is definitely the food hall of all food halls!

Quality/Quantity - YES!! Finally Lyonnaise food! Walked the hall several times and ended up…read moreshopping and supporting at least 6 businesses. See pictures. All of which offered local Lyonnaise food. Thank you. Lyon is known for their food, but I have been unlucky with my meals. Some my fault, some theirs I am happy now to finally experience their local cuisine. Ambiance - Good size food hall. 3 butchers. 4-5 charcuterie shops. 7 bakeries. 11 cafes, bars, restaurants. 2 wine merchants. 5 seafood, oyster bars. 2 fish shops. 4 delis. 4 cheese shops. 3 produce shops. etc. Service - Overall good. Caters to both locals and tourists. Saw many tour groups. Price - Depends on what you buy, eat, or drink. I felt reasonably priced. Do keep in mind that this is also a tourist place, so prices may reflect that. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success.

What started out as a 3 star review quickly dropped to 2 stars on day 2!…read moreToday's reasons for the drop are: Toilets close at 7:30pm when the mall (shopping) closes at 8pm. The stores are so rude starting at 7:30pm - Basically wanting everyone to GET out! No is their favorite word after 7:30pm. The good news is that the supermarket opens until 9:30pm and the restaurants open as late as 11pm. The toilets in the restaurant area stay open. Quality/Quantity - Huge mall! 3 floors. We came here for a Korean dinner; see my Chikin Bang review. Sadly, I regretted it. 198 shops. 66 restaurants. 5 entertainment. Ambiance - A beautiful huge mall. See my pictures of the directory. I plan on coming back when we have more time. I hope to take more pictures on the next day, or not. Paid toilets unless you create an account and download the app. So inconvenient. This alone dropped it one star! Service - Overall good. But it also depends on what you do, eat, or drink. Price - Depends on what you do, eat, or drink. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1960 with your 75 worldwide shopping centers. 2014 - Spin off from parent company. 2018 - New ownership, Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield.

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!

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!

You would think for the $$ we spend, for the cost of their brand, that the previous experiences would have also been positive... My wife got what she wanted and I almost bought more. Well, we might be back tomorrow. I want to sleep on my purchase. Oh, it was Mother's Day today. So there were complimentary bouquets of flowers for all the mothers (and daughters?). Maybe for all the women? Everyone was walking around with bouquets. Also, this was the only location that served champagne in silver cups. Supposedly it improves the carbonation; I believe that is a myth. Either way, I appreciate the gesture. Ambiance - Smaller location, but busy enough that we had to wait 20+ minutes for a sales person. Then she handed us off to another sales person (lunch break?). Both were professional. But when the first sales person came back, she noticed all our purchases and she looked sad. If she did not hand us off, she would have gotten the credit. Service - Good. The best so far. Also gave us dining suggestions. Lyon is known for their food, and sadly for us we have still not had a "WOW" meal. Price - Expensive. You are paying for the brand. And hopefully the service...

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).

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 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!

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!
