Accommodation ranges in price and opulence, from the simple bed and breakfast facilities to be found at the La Chambre d’Hugo, right up to the more luxurious five-star Hotel Le Royal Lyon. Lyon is a city that has a rich heritage in the silk trade, cinema and for its famous lights festival. Public transport in the city consists of an extensive network of buses, trams, trolleybuses and a comprehensive metro system. Lyon is also famous for its climate with very warm summers, although its winters are slightly colder than other southern French cities due to its inland location.
