Enjoying Fête de la Musique from the heart of Lyon
To make the most of the evening, staying in the city centre allows you to move easily between concert venues on foot and fully enjoy Lyon’s festive atmosphere late into the night.
From the Presqu’île, you can easily walk from one stage to another, stop at a terrace café between concerts or continue the evening along the riverbanks.
Located close to Place Bellecour, Vieux Lyon and the Saône riverbanks, Hôtel des Célestins is an ideal base for discovering the city’s lively neighbourhoods during Fête de la Musique.
After the concerts, you can return to the calm and comfort of the historic centre while still remaining at the heart of the event.
