Timeline
16:54
Grab a drink at Hot Club de Lyon. This jazz club in an old cellar is open in the evenings, making it a perfect spot to relax before the evening light shifts.
17:39
Walk to Nardone for ice cream. The terrace is pleasant, but be prepared to queue if it is a sunny weekend. It is worth the wait if you are a real ice cream fan.
18:24
Arrive at the Transbordeur. Find a spot on the terrace or near the edge to watch the sun set toward the WSW. The view over the city and river is best from this vantage point as the light fades.
19:24
End the night at L'Abreuvoir. Join the locals for some lively French music. It is an experience, though not everyone's cup of tea.
Local tip
Check the route from the museum area to the Transbordeur if you need directions. The walk between steps is short and manageable.
