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. Each district has its own pricing curve, guest profile and minimum-stay logic — a one-size-fits-all calendar leaves money on the table.
If your residence sits outside these areas we'll still review it, but only onboard when we're confident we can deliver above-market RevPAR.
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.
Minimum-stay rules flex by season: tighter in peak, relaxed in low-demand weeks to backfill gaps. The result is occupancy of around 74% blended across the year on a typical Lyon portfolio property.
