Why owners in Lyon choose Pinnacle Path

We reset all three in week one. Our revenue team re-prices every listing daily against Fête des Lumières demand, comparable RevPAR in Vieux Lyon and Presqu'île, and forward booking pace.
Compliance is handled in-house. Lyon meublé de tourisme registration and Article L324 declaration handled in-house. Each month you receive one clear gross-to-net statement; every fee is named and nothing is netted off quietly.
Where we operate in Lyon
We focus on the Lyon neighbourhoods where premium short-stay demand actually clears: Vieux Lyon, Presqu'île, Croix-Rousse, Confluence, Brotteaux, Part-Dieu. No two districts here share a booking curve, so minimum stays and rates are set locally rather than from a city-wide template.
Properties outside these areas are still welcome for review — we simply only take them on when the numbers say we can beat the local market.
How we price Lyon short-term rentals
The Apr – Oct + Fête des Lumières window does the heavy lifting in Lyon, but the 18–32% ADR uplift our owners typically see comes from the shoulder months. We use a proprietary model that blends competitor pricing, booking-window pace, length-of-stay mix and event signals (Fête des Lumières, Sirha, Tour de France stages) — re-running every 24 hours.
Length-of-stay rules tighten through peak and loosen in quiet weeks so gaps get filled. The result is occupancy of around 74% blended across the year on a typical Lyon portfolio property.
