Anyone Familiar With Lyon?

[Jennykenny]

Am arriving from Lille by train to the Part Dieu station and have to get to the Citadines Apartments on Rue Thomassin.
Any thoughts on how to get there.
Have spent the last hour online without any success.

Its too far to walk so why not get a taxi?

half an hour's walk (according to Google maps), nine minutes by car - take a taxi?

Dont know if this is any help but here are directions from Google Maps if it works.

You can change from walking to Public Transprt etc

Are these the Apartments?http://www.citadines.com/en/france/lyon/presqu_ile/location.html?override_form=224
If so, taxi costs 15 euros and the link gives instruction how to get from Part Dieu station by train.

Take Trolleybus Cristalis 13 (towards Montessuy), which runs every 10 minutes, from Gare Part-Dieu Vivier Merle for the 10 minute journey to Cordeliers. Then it's a 6 minute walk to rue Thomassin:

Thanks Chris you have nailed it again. Didn't want to take a taxi, - thought I could do it by Metro, but your suggestion looks like the best bet.
Thanks everyone else.

Lyon is a great city -spent a year there in my student days and my son 30 years later! Enjoy your trip!
