Lyon: this little-known and well-hidden rooftop terrace is open in summer

Every summer, when the sun and summer temperatures appear, the inhabitants of Lyon go in search of new terraces to test time for a coffee, a beer or a cocktail.

A little-known terrace is open to all in Old Lyon (5th arrondissement). Presentation.

From 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.

This is the terrace of the Collège Hôtel, a 4-star establishment located a few steps from the Saint-Paul train station, opposite the Made in Berliner restaurant, in the 5th arrondissement of Lyon.

This hotel, famous in Lyon for its very unusual façade covered with school chairs, opens its terrace all summer every year. But it is not reserved for guests of the rooms: all audiences are welcome there “in the calm of the hustle and bustle of the city”, provided they consume on site.

Cocktails et tapas

“In the summer, relax on our green terrace while sipping a creative cocktail or enjoying a tapas platter,” says the Collège Hôtel.

On the menu, a “wide choice of cold and hot drinks, wine, cocktails and tapas”. The creative cocktails are 13€, almost as much as the tapas (12€). As for beer, it costs €8 for a 33 cl bottle. Cold drinks are sold at €6.
