Being my first post on the site, I decided to contribute a little something.
Full Disclosure:
I stayed in Lyon for approximately a month and have conversational French skills, English is my first language. Be cognizant of that.
Background:
When it comes to tier-two cities, I believe that Lyon is a gem in France. It is the second largest metropolitan area in the country (Paris is #1) and it is a city with enough women, culture and activities to keep one occupied on longer stays.
Logistics:
Staying anywhere in the downtown area is preferable - especially being in close proximity to Vieux Lyon (Old Lyon) or Presqu'ile (the most central area of the city). For those looking to save money, Lyon has an excellent metro system (called the TCL) which will allow you quick access into the downtown area while staying on the outskirts of the city. Please be aware that the "suburbs" of Lyon, are not like those in North America. These areas are generally the more impoverished communities and may make some feel uncomfortable, especially at night. From a logistics standpoint, girls may also be apprehensive traveling to these parts of the city, particularly when it is dark - plan your accommodations accordingly.
Nightlife:
The vast majority of nightlife transpires around the areas listed above: Vieux Lyon and Presqu'ile. Vieux Lyon is more focused on the bar scene, with plenty of places packed with women in a relatively small area. Generally speaking, this area is a hub for foreign students (read: open to socializing) and for the most part, there is decent fluency of English amongst both the students and staff of these establishments. This is a great thing and something you can use to your advantage; many of these women will relish the opportunity to practice their English OR they may just be relieved to speak with someone in their native language (many students come to Lyon from the UK, Canada and US).
Presqu'ile also has a nice collection of bars, as well as live music venues and nightclubs. This is a nice area to game but there will definitely be higher bitch shields. In my opinion, the best way to meet and bang women in Lyon is through day-game.
Day-Game:
There are several day game areas which afford a high concentration of attractive women. First of all, Lyon has a huge student population with three main universities (Lyon 1, Lyon 2 & Lyon 3) as well as a host of other post-secondary institutions. Gaming on campus is rather easy, and many women will be approachable. The best angle to take is of someone looking to practice French / English or thinking about coming there as an exchange student. This usually gets their guard down and yields an easy transition to a date later that evening.
In terms of street game, players should find themselves around the Hotel de Ville / Opera area of Presqu'ile. Tons of nice women walk along the street, oftentimes by themselves. Another day game gem is the largest mall in the city, as well as a transit hub: Part-Dieu. I have generally found the women here to be less approachable then in the aforementioned places, but this is still a spot that shouldn't be missed.
Date Ideas:
There are a host of inexpensive ways to get a bang:
take a girl on a walk to Parc de la tete D'Or
Visit Fouviere
Just walk around (French girls are surprisingly open to this)
For those who don't care about the $$, there are a host of fine dining options - Lyon is the gastronomical capital of France and it certainly does not disappoint. There are a host of museums, theatres and fine arts shows that are ever-changing so I won't specifically document. They will be easier to find and there are tourist booths around the city who can provide the pertinent information.
Summary:
Lyon is a great city, with approachable girls and only a 2 hour train ride from Paris - check it out!
Feel free to ask any questions.
