Subways are the fastest way to get around
Transportation company is TCL (https://www. tcl .fr) you can download their app but public transportation is available on Go ogle Maps. You can pay with your credit card if you have NFC, no need to by tickets, but a cheaper roption is to get a three days pass or an evening pass if you travel after 7pm.
Da non perdere
Walking between the Gratte-Ciels is a must
The Gratte-Ciels in Villeurbanne are the oldest French sky-scrappers, built from 1928 to 1934, a year after the Empire State Building. They are the gates to the mayor's office (Mairie) and the TNP (Théatre National Populaire). In the evening the lighting is great so don't miss out if you're staying in any of the Gratte-Ciel listings!
