Nightlife and entertainment

Lyon is almost as good a place for
nightlife
and
entertainment
as it is for eating, with a good range of clubs, cinema, opera, jazz, classical music concerts and theatre. The best places to wander if you are looking for a
bar
are rue MerciA?re and rue de la Monnaie and, most particularly, the streets of Vieux-Lyon, especially the southern part around the place Bertras. And make a point of crossing the river by the
passerelles
; the whole district looks magnificent at night.
The tourist office brings out a bimonthly brochure,
Le ProgrA?scope
, with broad mainstream listings. Alternatively buy a copy of the weekly
Lyon Poche
, available from newsagents (every Wed; 7F/a?¬1.07). Other useful information
for tourists (each section contains more specific sub-sections): |
