Practical Tips

To visit these places, the TCL network is efficient. The 6ème arrondissement is well served by tram lines T1 and T2, as well as metro A (Masséna, Foch, or Debourg stations). For O’LAFFA and L'éden in Villeurbanne, metro B (Charpennes or Place Guichard stations) or tram T3 are your best allies.

Local tip: always reserve for Fifty & Five and Le Namal, especially on Friday evening. For Toda and O’LAFFA, choose off-peak hours (before 12:30 or after 13:30) to avoid the line. Always check the weekly hours on the respective websites before going, as they may vary during Jewish holidays.
