Hi there,

Me amd Mrs Pugwash would like to have a look at Lyon and ask if anyone can recommend a good stopping place for a couple of nights.

Can anyone help? A safe aire perhaps? Or if that's not possible near Lyon a good campsite?

We'd need pubic transport to reach the centre so that's a factor too.

Any help much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Pugwash.

Hello Pugwash. Lyon is a bit of a desert on the MHF campsite database Embarassed . There may be some municipals around, but it's a big urban area, so may be difficult. You could try the Michelin sites book (mine is 2005 so a bit out of date), or look on www.campingcar-infos.com for aires.

Hi, there is/was a large campsite beside the motorway heading south. It's quite a while since we stayed there, but I seem to remember just heading for the well signed, big Centre Commercial, north of Lyon. Very convenient for Lyon, not sure about public transport though.
Lyon itself is a great city and well worth a visit, cheers, Paul.

Hi

Have a trawl through www.campingfrance.com and www.campingqualite.com

Let us know if you do stop somewhere etc.

Hi Pugwash

We stayed at "Indigo Lyon" last week - www.camping-indigo.com. Not bad, just off J33 on the A6, decent facs, short walk to a hypermarket, and most important, a bus stop right outside the gate.

It was very quiet so no need to reserve a pitch, very helpful staff who speak excellent English. Only problem is that you need to take the A6 through the centre of Lyon, it is a motorway (no pay) but can get very busy at the wrong times.

Good Luck, Roger

Hi Roger,

Thanks for that info. It looks like that's our best option. Good to know there's a bus stop at the gate. Providing we arrive outside of the rush hour I guess we'll be OK.

Thanks again,
Kind Regards
Pugwash.

Hi Roger I notice you haven't put it on the campsite database, do you mind if I enter it? or do you intend to put it in, as has been said we do have a dearth of sites close to Lyon, so I am sure it will be of interest to many.

Olley

Hi Olley

Please go ahead and add it to the database. We are having a few days with our family in Weymouth before heading North. Will then hopefully add the few (about 30!) that we have used during tha last 6 months and will add a review to the ones already in the database.

Sorry for the delay - it's Xmas party day today, starting at 13:00!!!!!

Roger

Hi Roger thanks, I can't stop it being credited to me, but I will ask nuke if he can move it to you, then if any of it is wrong you can edit it.
