relaxing.

Discovering french culture throughout its cuisine is a great idea! From our point

Let’s party on a boat ! LE SIRIUS is on

the Rhône river banks, 5min walking

distance from the Slo Hostel. We did

some staff ‘meetings’ over there and

we all recommend the homemade

punchs for a crazy ride on the river!

The music is more commercial, but

still pretty great for dancing. Trust

us, you will enjoy the atmosphere!
