Oh, Saint Antoine will be open (before 1pm) early in the week so mostly produce although I am sure you can get some saucisson. I was obsessed with going everyday. But I am obsessed with looking at food. If you need recs for wine instead I have those too.

Feels like a bit of a waste to be drinking beer rather than wine in Lyon, especially when you will be going to several of the best places for beer in the world later on.

....what if i said brandy

Then knock yourself out, literally.
If you're in Lyon for a short time I'd probably aim to spent more time in the area around the Saône rather than the more modern bits on the other side of the Rhone. Having said that the old town can get pretty hectic but there are some gorgeous squares to sit and drink as you approach it from the river.

top of the montée de la grande côte is the spot at the top of croix rousse where it's nice to sit with a beer (or wine) on a nice day, watching the sun go down - https://goo.gl/maps/nSixkUmN1gs
parc d'or is out the way but worth doing. the modern art gallery is nearby and was decent, though there was a big festival on at the time so may be more variable

one of the best things I did in lyon was go to the opera on a cheap standing ticket (un place debout) then nab an unoccupied seat once the show starts

On a train from Narbonne back to a Paris, very close to Lyon at the moment. But I’ve only spent a couple of days in Lyon ever. I need to go back. I’ll be in Lisbon in October for a week+, will check out that seafood place. Last time in Lisbon I was quite ill (see some TMI thread for details) and am looking forward to a richer experience this time.

Part Dieu is fine. You can walk from the train station to Vieux Lyon in under 30 minutes.

ooof
overnight (8.30pm through to 1pm next day) lisbon-barca flixbus was an ordeal, mainly because snorer in front, no wifi and eh tbh our driver kept swerving as if he were a lil sleepy himself which kept me on edge.
tbf at 35 quid there's no arguing with value and it was lynchian ito sleep deprived endless road and the odd lowlife interaction at deserted filling stations.

Brussels is the equivalent of being happy a boring department store exists because you know that at least you can use a restroom there when you really need it.
― Yerac, Friday, 19 October 2018 13:49 (five years ago) link
I don’t know what you all look for in a city but to me Brussels is great, though my first few times there I didn’t like it much. It’s a grower I guess.
― droit au butt (Euler), Friday, 19 October 2018 14:31 (five years ago) link
The time I went to Brussels we stayed in a huge noize band vegan squat for a show. My friend tried to leave in the morning to get breakfast and set off all the alarms and the main guy yelled at her. I still think brussels is boring.
― Yerac, Friday, 19 October 2018 14:54 (five years ago) link
Brussels is boring in a very good way IMO
