The Best Views of Lyon: Rooftop dining or Napoleon's home
Arthaud
Professional chef Arthaud has traveled the world to hone his culinary skills and now, having returned to his homeland, hosts like minded foodies in the heart of the city. He has been hosting on Eatwith since 2023.
His food? Local, delicious, and beautifully presented. His cooking is also low waste – almost everything is repurposed.
His location? A historical apartment that used to belong to Napoleon, with views of the Saone river in the 2nd arrondissement. Adorned with art and gilded ornaments, Arthaud’s location is an unparalleled place to dine.
His grandma inspired his cooking but what keeps him going is the excitement of meeting new people and introducing them to his 'universe, my food, and simply to share – because that’s what life is about'.
What a fabulous Night. Outstanding Food and Hospitality and WOW Napoleon Apartment a highlight and to hear stories from Arthaud. What a wonderful host We had such an amazing night definitely a highlight - Alan

Joëlle
Since joining the Eatwith community in 2023, Joëlle's popularity has soared through the roof. Her stunning rooftop city view, warm personality, and skills in the kitchen make it difficult for anyone to leave unsatisfied.
Joëlle's tour of the Croix Rousse market, a lovely and authentic French market near her home, is followed by a French cooking class with fresh ingredients. Her 5-course rooftop dinner is a real journey for the senses:
you start with a cocktail and appetizers as the sun goes down. Then follows a delicious pie, delicate roast beef and eggplant tatin, French cheese, and the dessert that chocolate lovers adore. Each course is paired with red wine.
What a fantastic way to introduce my husband and I to Lyon...we had a wonderful night with perfect weather and hosts and four interesting guests from Iceland. Joelle you and your husband were so welcoming and the stunning views from the balcony are to 'die for'. If you are visiting Lyon you can't miss this opportunity.... - Ellen
