Transparent bubbles with a view over Lyon
When the thermometer starts to look gloomy, most Lyon terraces put away their tables until spring. Not for Terrasses du Fort! Perched at 1 rue Bodin, in the 1st arrondissement, the panoramic terrace of the Fort Saint-Laurent Hotel brings back its winter setup with three large transparent bubbles. The idea is simple: enjoy the view over Lyon, even when the cold sets in for the evening.

We discovered these installations last winter and we absolutely loved the concept. The polycarbonate structures protect you from wind and rain while letting light through. The sun can even naturally warm the space during the day, with supplementary heating to complete the setup. And when night falls, the view transforms: the lights of Lyon and the Rhône create a particularly pleasant panorama to admire from your table.
Three bubbles to enjoy winter
In terms of capacity, the installations were designed to welcome different types of groups. Two large bubbles can each accommodate around 25 seated people, while a third, smaller space has about ten seats. Perfect for organizing a cozy date for two, meeting up with a few friends, or planning an evening with a slightly larger crowd.

The bubbles can also be privatized for corporate events or year-end celebrations. An interesting option for anyone looking for a place with character to bring their teams or loved ones together. The setting really does half the work: it's hard
finding so many places in Lyon where you can raise a glass with such a view over the city's rooftops.Cocktails and treats overlooking the panorama
Inside the bubbles, you'll find the bar menu from Terrasses du Fort. Signature cocktails, house creations, mocktails, wines and craft beers are on the menu to complement your evening. To nibble on, the establishment also serves sharing boards and local specialties from Croix-Rousse. The idea: take your time, order a few drinks and enjoy the panorama without checking every five minutes if someone's pulled out their scarf.
