Grab a drink at Paddy's Corner. This pub is open until 02:00, so it is a safe bet before sunset.

Walk to Le Gros Caillou. The rock faces west-southwest, aligning with the October sunset. Find a spot on the slopes to watch the light fade.

Head to Le Limonadier for dinner or a nightcap. It serves tapas and local wines from 18:00 to 00:00 on weekdays, fitting the post-sunset timing.
Local tip
The walk from the pub to the rock is short, but the terrain in Croix-Rousse is hilly. Wear comfortable shoes. Le Limonadier is located near the landmark, keeping the evening contained in one neighborhood.
