Lyon away

[andyeagles]

Looking to travel to Lyon with my 14-year-old son for his first European adventure 🇫🇷🇪🇺

We’re planning to go regardless whether he has enough loyalty points for a match ticket, but I’m looking to keep the costs as low as possible. we’re open to any suggestions on the cheapest way to travel.

Is anyone driving over there? or does anyone know of a particularly cheap way to get there?

Also, is anyone thinking of booking an Airbnb/apartment? It’s usually much cheaper when a few people share the cost, so we’d definitely be interested in joining a group if anyone has space.

Please let me know if you’re travelling over, driving, or have any tips on keeping the costs down. Thanks! 👍

Eurostar to Paris then train to Lyon takes about 5 1/2 hours. Price is about £300 so flying maybe cheaper.

We’ve booked an air b&b with the same thought, and a cheapish EasyJet from Manchester (we’re Up North). Prices for accommodation seem quite high and a lot of city centre options are booked up already-apparently there’s a film festival in town that week.
