Some people leave for the holidays… and then there are those lucky enough to experience Lyon in the summertime.
When the streets grow quieter, the golden façades glow in the evening sun, the riverbanks invite you to wander, and the city’s squares come alive with the sound of conversations shared over a terrace table.
Summer reveals a different side of Lyon.
It’s the perfect time to stroll through Vieux Lyon, lose yourself in its hidden traboules, enjoy the concerts, performances, and events of Tout L’Monde Dehors, marvel at the beauty of our heritage… and, above all, share those simple moments that become the best memories.
And at the heart of the city we love so much, there are places that never close their doors.
Le Café des Fédérations is open all summer long.
For more than 150 years, we have been keeping the spirit of Lyon’s traditional bouchons alive: generous cuisine, distinctive local produce, recipes passed down with passion, and the warm hospitality that is part of Lyon’s very DNA.
Whether you’re a local, visiting the city, travelling from elsewhere in France, or joining us from the other side of the world, we will be delighted to welcome you, just as we always have.
Because a meal is never just a meal.
It’s a moment of sharing, a chance encounter, a smile, a toast among friends, family, or colleagues.
So this summer, take your time.
Take the time to experience Lyon.
Take the time to discover its neighbourhoods, its treasures, and its history…
And take the time to step through the doors of Le Café des Fédérations, where we look forward to welcoming you every day from July 22nd to August 31st—and long after.
We wish you all a wonderful summer!
❤️ Lyon is beautiful… but it’s even more beautiful when it’s shared.
