For foreigners visiting or living in Lyon the Decitre bookstore on Place Bellecour will be an important discovery. There you can find all sorts of dictionaries and books for learning french and other languages. It also has a good variety of english titles which otherwize aren´t that easy to find in Lyon. So for those not quite capable of reading in french this will be a relief.You can find it here.
On the other side of Place Bellecour you have an even more interesting bookstore, the Taschen bookstore. For those who don´t know, Taschen is a German book publishing company which publishes beautiful books on art, architecture and photography. Taschen books are good quality, low priced and in my opinion on the top ten list of the most enjoyable things in the world. The books in this store are mostly in french, but if you see something you like, and would like it in another language, you could order it through their website or on amazon.
You can find directions here.

I must have visited Place Bellecour a dozen times, but I don't think I ever looked closely enough. I had no idea there was a Taschen bookstore there! Thanks for the tip, I'll go there as soon as I have time!
Your blog is great, by the way. Keep it up! :-)
Regs,
Ben.
