Was it difficult to find accommodation in Lyon? Do you have any advice?

There are some really nice neighbourhoods for students in the city centre: Lyon 8 or La Guilliotière.

The food is very good and very well-known. It's the gastronomic capital of France. I liked "la praline", "les quenelles", "la cervelle de canut", "les tripes" and lots of other things!

I'd recommend visiting: La basilique de fourvières, the streets during the festival on the 8th of December, the museums, the Confluence neighbourhood, the neighbourhood and the shopping centre at Part-Dieu, the Tête d'Or park, "les quais" (quayside), the old neighbourhood called "Vieux Lyon", the Bellecour square, Rue de la Republique, the "Croix-Rousse" neighbourhood and others.
