"Lyon guidebook" Top 5 Page for this destination Lyon Packing List Tip by Nemorino

Miscellaneous: At the bookshops in the main railway station in Frankfurt am Main there are dozens of different guidebooks about Prague, where I went a few weeks earlier, but this was the only one they had about Lyon.

It is called “City|Trip Lyon” by Petra Sparrer, published by Reise Know-How Verlag in Bielefeld, first edition 2010, and it is all in German despite the English title.

Like the guidebook I bought for Prague, this one has detailed maps and nice photos, and is small enough to fit in my jacket pocket, which turned out to be very convenient. I read most of it on the train and then found it quite useful during my stay in Lyon, except for the fact that the maps did not show the locations of the 343 Vélo’v stations.

Second photo: On my first morning in Lyon I found a nice bookshop called “chaPitre” at 19, place Bellecour, at the corner of Place Antonin Poncet, and bought a little booklet of maps entitled “Lyon utile!” (Useful Lyon!), which cost me all of 3.15 Euros. This booklet takes a bit of getting used to, since it lists the streets by map coordinates but doesn’t say which page they are on. But it does indeed show the exact locations of all 343 Vélo’v stations.
