If you haven't started your vacation yet, we're here to tell you clearly: it's getting closer and closer! But until then, Lyon still has a weekend full of parties, outings, great deals, and all kinds of fun activities lined up for us, making sure we don’t feel left out even though summer is already well underway.

Relaxation on a Hidden Terrace @ Epona

This summer, dive into freshness at the heart of the Grand Hôtel-Dieu with Epona Côté Jardin, the ephemeral terrace of the InterContinental Lyon. Nestled under the lush arches of the Saint-Louis courtyard, this chic and shaded oasis is the perfect spot to chill in Lyon. In partnership with Italicus, the venue offers a refined cocktail menu with notes of bergamot and citron, available from 12 PM to 8 PM all summer long. It’s a true sunny escape, away from the urban hustle. And for food lovers, the Epona restaurant welcomes you from breakfast to dinner, with a daily menu starting at just €28 on weekdays.

Singles Picnic @ Parc de la Tête d'Or

This Sunday, the association Amitié Loisirs Entre Nous is back at it again with its famous giant picnic for singles. The meeting is set for noon sharp, on the lawn of the Human Rights monument. The concept is as simple as it is effective: come alone or with single friends, bring your picnic basket, your biggest smile, and your desire to chat. The event is free, open to everyone, and you don’t even need to be a member of the association to join in on the fun!

Across 58 locations in Lyon, there are more than 30 disciplines open to everyone: from sports dancing to dragon boat racing, and even flag football. It's the perfect opportunity to celebrate pride, sports, and togetherness in a friendly atmosphere.

L'Estrange Festival @ Pélussin

A sprinkle of magic will drift near Lyon at the end of July: the Estrange Festival is returning to Pélinin for a spellbinding weekend dedicated to witchcraft, magic, and the occult sciences, all wrapped in an inclusive and fantastic atmosphere. Mark your calendars for July 26 and 27! This is no ordinary event, where cauldrons, runes, and electronic music come together in a wonderfully queer-friendly medieval vibe. There will also be conferences to shake up old clichés and remind us that the witch hunts were, above all, a hunt for women.

Medieval Quarter of Virieu - Pélinin
Saturday, July 26 from 6 PM to 11 PM and Sunday, July 27 from 10 AM to 6 PM
Suggested donation from €5 to €15, free for children under 7

It's a page that’s turning for Encré., the trendy Lyon brand that’s all the rage among those who love stylish, cozy, and committed clothes. This Saturday, the shop nestled at 3 rue d’Algérie in the 1st arrondissement will experience its last day before saying goodbye to the Presqu’île. But no sneaking away quietly! To mark the occasion, the Encré team is organizing a huge clearance sale with prices slashed: discounts of up to 70%! But to walk away with a cool embroidered sweatshirt or eye-catching t-shirt, you'll need to bring cash.
