'''Lyon''' is one of three largest cities of [[France]].
Indicate that you would like to go to the "péage" (Highway toll gate). Almost 50% of the people passing through the péage are going straight to Clermont-Ferrand. So have a good ride!
== Public transport Resources ==You can black-ride the metro, just go in quickly after someone. On bus and tram controls are quite frequent. Alternatively look for used tickets left around by people. The tickets can be used up to an hour after they were validated. Tickets also work for all public transport in the city.{{nomadwiki}}
== Free Internet ==
You can have free access to internet in public libraries.
Near Gare Part-Dieu - central railway station - (exit on the eastside) there's a shopping mall called ''La Part-Dieu'' that offers free and unlimited wi-fi.
Next to the left of this shopping center ''Bibliotheque Municipale de Lyon'' offers free internet, too.
 
== Showers ==
Free showers at [http://www.lyon.fr/cs/Satellite?pagename=RecherchePost&searchtype=Equipement&pagenumber=1&type=Bains+douches&Rechercher=1 Bains Douches] in the 1st (metro Croix Paquet) and 7th (metro Debourg) ''arrondissement''. Closed on tuesday afternoon, saturday and sunday. Staff give you soap and towel if you need.
 
Edit July 2017: Couldn't find the showers in the Croix Paquet, so I went to the metro Debourg district. The address is: 13 Rue Benjamin Delessert
 
== Sleeping ==
The parks on ''Fourvière Hill'' in ''Vieux Lyon'' are peaceful at night and if you are too, no one will bother you for [[camping]] out there. It's nearby, but it feels so far outside of the city that you can get a relaxing night of sleep without worrying about police or thieves. It is however quite difficult to find a flat place there.
The park I slept in is called "La Sarra". You should see the name on your phone maps. However I recommend you to go and check out the park a bit earlier since it could be locked at night.
If you don't have other options you can spend the night in Part-Dieu shopping center. Surveillance staff don't bother you if mantain a low-profile.
