SHOPPING IN THE PRESQU'ÎLE

3000 boutiques are waiting for you!

Situated between Place Bellecour and Cordeliers is the area of Le Carré d’Or, which is home to over 70 different designer labels and brand name stores, a certain hotspot for buyers and window shoppers.

Be sure to go to rue Edouard Herriot, where you will see luxurious boutiques such as Dior, Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Mont Blanc, Escada, Cartier…

The area between rue Victor Hugo and rue de la République serves as one of Europe’s largest commercial and pedestrian zones and it is here is where you will find the majority of high street shops and chain stores. Meanwhile, not too far away is the Auguste Comte quarter (south of Bellecour) made up of nearly 100 stores that sell antiques, art work, home furnishings, etc.

CROIX ROUSSE: BREEDING GROUND OF DESIGNERS

For those who want to deviate and shop away from the commercial and high street stores visit Le Passage Thiaffait, home to the Village des Créateurs, located on the Croix-Rousse hills.

It houses several workshops and boutiques of young and up-coming Lyon designers, allowing them to exhibit their creations and encourage their creativity.

The creations of these young designers attract shoppers who are looking for those “unique items and garments”.

If during your shopping visit you need to take a short break, go for a coffee or have something to eat at Café Cousu, who knows you may even get the chance to meet the designers themselves!

Le Village des Créateurs is a world of fashion and design, exhibiting work from cultures from all around the world.
