Villeurbanne is only 5 kms from Lyon and according to wiki its Arrondissement is Lyon, France which probably means Villeurbanne is a commune of Lyon. When researching flea markets in France, this flea market is referred to as biggest flea market in Lyon but it is actually located in Villeurbanne.
Lyon, France is not RV or camper friendly . there is no municipal camping for campers in or even surrounding Lyon. Parking is non existent. It is good we were set to go to Villeurbanne to spend the night in preparation for my much anticipated day flea marketing.
We also had a hard time finding a parking in Villeurbanne, we wanted to leave and drive at the motorway and sleep in an aire even it was already 12 mn. We opted to stay and we were rewarded with a vacant parking spot in a neighborhood parking lot. In the morning, my husband discovered our parking is only 5 minutes walk to the beginning (or end) of the flea market. So we went and walked and looked and bought cherries euros 2.50 per kg, fresh green beans, a lot for euros 2.50 and peaches euros 1.5 per kg.
This flea market is a big disappointment for me. But what did I expect, quality products for cheap prices? Clothing, shoes and everything else is low quality. Food, fruits and vegetables are fresh and good prices. Big flea market day is every Sunday.
C'est la vie.
