DISCOVER LYON, PLAY PICKLEBALL
Immerse yourself in the French art de vivre through the eyes of a Lyonnais, blending food, culture and the game that brings people together.
When you choose to Travel France, you deserve an experience that goes far beyond the standard tourist tracks. Your journey belongs in the beating cultural heart of the country: Lyon. As France’s undisputed capital of gastronomy, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and a city where vibrant modern life meets over 2,000 years of history, Lyon is waiting to be discovered.
This exclusive getaway is designed for American travelers who want to truly live the French lifestyle, rather than just look at it through a tour bus window. Hosted by two US expats who have lived, breathed, and loved Lyon for over 15 years, you will explore the city with ultimate insider access.
HOW IT BEGAN
It started with a shared love.
Christine and Michelle, two American friends who call Lyon home, connected with Hubert, owner of X Sight Travel. Together they discovered a shared passion for travel and pickleball.
We invite you to experience Lyon’s authentic way of life through the places we call home, with pickleball as the thread that weaves our journeys together.
“We’re always looking for new places to explore, new people to meet and a good game of pickleball.”
