1) Explore Lyon from the water on an electric-powered boat or canoe	Two large rivers, Rhône and Saône, meet in the heart of the city. You can see Lyon from a new perspective during the cruises on electric-powered boats. If you’d like some exercise, a canoe trip is also an option. Aside from the rivers, you can also explore a beautiful lake at Tête d’Or Park. Gliding its tranquil water among ducks and swans, you will forget about the hassle of a large city nearby.
2) Plan long-distance travels from Lyon in advance	Local trains in France have fixed fares, so the cost will be the same whenever you buy the tickets. However, long-distance Intercity or TGV trains have large discounts if you book seats in advance. For instance, you will pay at least 30% less if you buy tickets from Lyon to Paris 3 months before the day of departure. Thorough planning may save you money!

You can have a drink there (a cup of coffee, for instance) and enjoy the views even without staying at the hotel.
