Lyon

🚼Pram

Lyon's riverside quays along the Rhone and Saone are flat and excellent for strolling, and the city's compact centre and metro system are generally stroller-accessible. The hilly Fourviere district requires the funicular rather than a walk up with a pram.

🍽️Food & Eating

As France's food capital, Lyon's bouchons (traditional bistros) are hearty and family-run, though some of the classic dishes are offal-heavy and more for adults; simpler options like roast chicken and gratin are easy to find too. High chairs are common in mid-range restaurants. Supermarkets are well stocked.

🛡️Safety

Lyon is a safe, orderly city with low crime rates. Tap water is safe to drink. The main practical consideration is the Rhone and Saone rivers running through the city, so keep a close hand on toddlers along the quays.

🏥Hospitals

Hopital Femme Mere Enfant in Bron is a major dedicated pediatric and maternity hospital serving the region. Pharmacies are widespread throughout the city. English proficiency among younger staff is generally decent.
