Best neighbourhoods to live in near Lyon 3?

These are some of the neighbourhoods we recommend considering according to the location of the campus you are going to:

University District

This district is made up of the La Guillotière and Jean-Macé areas. These two neighbourhoods in the 7th arrondissement are usually full of students, as it is home to several universities, including Lyon 3's Riverside Campus. Additionally, they have several advantages: the rental prices are usually more affordable than in more central neighbourhoods, and there is a great variety of bars and restaurants that young people often frequent.

Monplaisir and Monluc

These neighbourhoods are ideal for students going to Campus de la Manufacture of the university, as it is located next to both.

It is also close to Sergent Blandan Park, where you can go to enjoy the good weather days.

Bourg-en-Bresse Centre

This city is much smaller than Lyon, so the leisure offer is more limited. Living in the centre will not only put you close to the Bourg-en-Bresse Campus of the University, but you will also have access to the most popular venues for young people, as well as the train station that takes you to Lyon in a short time.
