Such a unique little Boutique. Wonderful selection of silk scarves of all different textures and…read moresizes. Love the fact that in 1466, Lyon was designated by the French king to be the silk manufacturing center of France and that the owner of this boutique was chosen to redo the silks in Versailles Palace. The gentleman working at the boutique was very knowledgeable and helpful.

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 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!

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.

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.

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 Andoulette 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.

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.
