We dropped our luggage there. It costs €7.50 for all three bags. It has three different sizes you can choose from small (€5.50), medium (€7.50) and large (€9.50). It is a self service center where you have to change your money to coins (coins machine provided inside) and choose which locker you want. Keep the receipt in case you cant remember which locker. There will be security scan before entering the place.
After that we went to Zoo de Lyon by tram and by walking. The zoo is free and located at 6th arrondissement of Lyon. A lot of animals are there including zebras, lions, monkeys, birds, etc. We spent quite sometime there.
After that we went for a lunch. We walked nearby and found a halal restaurant selling kebabs and burgers. Spent around €7 each meal. Then we head back to Gare de Lyon. Picked up our luggage. Trip from Gare de Lyon to Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport by The Rhônexpress Express Tram costs €14.70 for single journey per person. It took about 30 minutes to reach at Lyon-Saint Exupery airport. Please be careful in planning your journey as there are TWO different airports in Lyon. I almost mistakenly thought we'll be depart from Lyon-Bron airport.
As we arrived at the airport, I was amazed by its architecture. The design of the building is so proportionate and well-balance including its floor tiles. This stations was designed by Santiago Calatrava which according to my fiance this is his style - using steel and bending it.
It was a quite a distance to walk from the tram/ train station to the airport. I think it took us around 15 minutes to reach check in area because there was some kind of renovation at the terminal.
Nevertheless we've made it. Boarded easyJet flight EZY2428 from Lyon and safely landed in London Luton airport. That costs us €47 each.
I would love to come back and visit Lyon once again, just for the Unesco heritage area.
See you soon, Lyon!
