Lyon
France · 10 areas
Lyon, France's third city, has nine arrondissements, and its neighbour Villeurbanne is part of the same rent-cap area. Since November 2021 the Préfecture sets official reference rents each year for every small statistical block (IRIS). The figures below average those reference rents for unfurnished flats across each arrondissement, all flat sizes and building ages. Landlords may charge up to 20% above the reference.
