The sun beating down on the cobblestones of Rue Saint-Jean in the morning. The Roman theaters of Fourvi\u00e8re aglow in the evening beneath the stars. To Fourvi\u00e8re, towering over it all, just as it always has. The H\u00f4tel Ph\u00e9nix stands there, facing the banks of the Sa\u00f4ne, in a Renaissance mansion that has weathered the centuries and from which summer in Lyon unfolds effortlessly\u2014on foot, by boat, or as you climb the hill.    <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/section>\n\n\t<section\n\t\tstyle=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--theme-default);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--theme-default)\" class=\"double-columns wp-block-acf-double-columns has-background has-white-background-color has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-acf-double-columns-is-layout-3b8f3b06 wp-block-acf-double-columns-is-layout-constrained\"\t>\n\n<div class=\"double-columns__innerblocks\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-28462c10 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>The Nights of Fourvi\u00e8re<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are hotels in great locations. And then there\u2019s the Ph\u00e9nix. Just a ten-minute walk from the banks of the Sa\u00f4ne, the Roman theaters of Fourvi\u00e8re are hosting the 80th edition of the Nuits de Fourvi\u00e8re this summer. Eighty years of concerts, dance, circus, and theater in one of Europe\u2019s most spectacular settings: an ancient amphitheater perched on a hill, with Lyon as the backdrop at sunset.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this anniversary edition, the festival has organized eight themed balls open to all\u2014from a disco ball to a masquerade ball, including the Block Party for Kids on July 2 for families. An eclectic lineup that brings together leading voices from the international scene, contemporary dance, circus arts, and original productions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Walking back to the Ph\u00e9nix after a concert under the stars, strolling along the banks of the Sa\u00f4ne on certain July evenings\u2014that\u2019s exactly what life in Lyon is all about.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Roman Theaters of Fourvi\u00e8re, 1 rue Cl\u00e9berg, 69005 Lyon<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>May 28 through July 25, 2026<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Starting at \u20ac13 \u2014 tickets available at nuitsdefourviere.com<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A 10-minute walk from Le Ph\u00e9nix \u2014 via the Chazeaux or Gourguillon trails<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full image-is-animate\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"495\" height=\"584\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hotel-phenix-lyon.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/06\/gesaffelstein_credits_juliette_valero.jpg.webp\" alt=\"gesaffelstein credits juliette valero.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-8517\" style=\"aspect-ratio:3\/4;object-fit:cover\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Gesaffelstein &#8211; credits: Juliette Valero<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\t<section\n\t\tstyle=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--theme-default);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--theme-default)\" class=\"double-columns double-columns-reverse_colums_mobile wp-block-acf-double-columns has-background has-white-100-background-color has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-acf-double-columns-is-layout-3b8f3b06 wp-block-acf-double-columns-is-layout-constrained\"\t>\n\n<div class=\"double-columns__innerblocks\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full image-is-animate\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"810\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hotel-phenix-lyon.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/06\/tout-le-monde-dehors-lyon-activites-ete.jpg\" alt=\"Everyone Outdoors: Lyon Summer Activities\" class=\"wp-image-8518\" style=\"aspect-ratio:3\/4;object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hotel-phenix-lyon.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/06\/tout-le-monde-dehors-lyon-activites-ete.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.hotel-phenix-lyon.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/06\/tout-le-monde-dehors-lyon-activites-ete-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.hotel-phenix-lyon.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/06\/tout-le-monde-dehors-lyon-activites-ete-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-28462c10 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>&#8220;Everyone out!&#8221;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every summer, Lyon takes on a different pace. And in Vieux Lyon, this is especially noticeable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From June 30 to August 30, the municipal festival \u201cTout l\u2019monde dehors\u201d takes over the city\u2019s squares, courtyards, and alleyways with more than 200 free events. In the Saint-Jean and Saint-Paul neighborhoods\u2014which directly surround the Ph\u00e9nix\u2014the program takes on the feel of a village festival: Cuban salsa at Place Gailleton on Tuesdays in July, open-air movies under the stars, concerts in cobblestone courtyards, swing dances, street performances\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No need to make a reservation, no need to go far. Walk out the hotel door, turn left onto the riverfront, and Lyon\u2019s summer is already there\u2014free, spontaneous, and authentic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>That&#8217;s what people in Lyon have always done in the summer. And ever since the Ph\u00e9nix opened, we&#8217;ve been doing it before everyone else. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Saint-Jean and Saint-Paul neighborhoods, 69005 Lyon \u2014 right around the hotel<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>June 30\u2013August 30, 2026 \u2014 full program available at lyon.fr<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Free admission \u2014 no reservation required<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\t<section\n\t\tstyle=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--theme-default);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--theme-default)\" class=\"double-columns wp-block-acf-double-columns has-background has-white-background-color has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-acf-double-columns-is-layout-3b8f3b06 wp-block-acf-double-columns-is-layout-constrained\"\t>\n\n<div class=\"double-columns__innerblocks\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-28462c10 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>Dinner <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-secondary-color\">Cruise<\/mark><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There&#8217;s one thing that few visitors do\u2014and that even the people of Lyon sometimes forget\u2014and that is seeing their city from the river. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Herm\u00e8s restaurant boat offers dinner cruises on the Rh\u00f4ne and Sa\u00f4ne rivers, lasting two and a half hours. The chef cooks on board. The quays of Old Lyon glide gently by on the port side. Fourvi\u00e8re looks like a postcard from the river. And as summer draws to a close, when the light turns golden on the Renaissance facades, you understand why people say Lyon is beautiful\u2014especially from the water.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The itinerary: Departure from the riverfront, heading toward La Confluence and its futuristic architecture, then cruising up the Sa\u00f4ne River toward the medieval \u00cele Barbe. Throughout the cruise, commentary provides a fresh perspective on the riverbanks of this city with a history spanning two millennia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Perfect for couples looking for an extraordinary evening.

Located on the Quais Saint-Antoine and des C\u00e9lestins, right in the heart of the Presqu\u2019\u00eele and across from Vieux Lyon, the Saint-Antoine Market is the city\u2019s largest food market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">There are dozens of producers and vendors offering seasonal fruits and vegetables, cheeses, Lyon-style cured meats, fish, poultry, artisanal breads, pastries, flowers, and regional specialties. <strong>The market is open Tuesday through Thursday from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 6 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., and Sunday until 2 p.m.<\/strong> On <strong>Mondays<\/strong>, the market features <strong>handmade goods<\/strong>, with stalls selling clothing, shoes, accessories, and home goods. In the summer, the atmosphere is particularly pleasant thanks to the view of the colorful facades of Old Lyon and the Basilica of Fourvi\u00e8re.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Between sampling local products, strolling along the Sa\u00f4ne, and exploring Lyon\u2019s heritage, the Quais de Sa\u00f4ne Market is the perfect outing to enjoy Lyon with family, friends, or during a weekend getaway.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/section>\n\n\t<section\n\t\tstyle=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--theme-default);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--theme-default)\" class=\"double-columns wp-block-acf-double-columns has-background has-white-background-color has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-acf-double-columns-is-layout-3b8f3b06 wp-block-acf-double-columns-is-layout-constrained\"\t>\n\n<div class=\"double-columns__innerblocks\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-28462c10 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">&#8220;Explore Ancient Lyon&#8221;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Put on the headset, and Lyon disappears.
