The Airbnb market in Lyon in 2026: key figures

Interior of a Lyon apartment

Lyon is France's second most popular destination for business tourism after Paris. The city welcomed 9.56 million paid overnight stays in 2024, up 1.3% year on year. The short-term rental market is dense and competitive.

Here are the market figures to know before getting started:

  • 8,539 active Airbnb and Vrbo listings in Lyon (AirDNA, April 2026)
  • Average nightly rate of €119 according to AirDNA
  • Average occupancy rate: 58% over the year, up 4 percentage points
  • 3.8 nights: average length of stay in Lyon
  • 32% international guests: Spain, Germany, United States, United Kingdom, Italy
€12,000

Average annual revenue of an active Airbnb listing in Lyon in 2025-2026, based on AirDNA data (converted from $12,900).

The most sought-after districts are the Presqu'île (1st, 2nd), Vieux Lyon (5th, UNESCO-listed), Croix-Rousse (1st, 4th), Brotteaux (6th) and Confluence (2nd). Lyon is less dependent on the summer season than other cities: 65% of hotel overnight stays are linked to business tourism. Peak demand comes with the Fête des Lumières (5-8 December, 2 million visitors), SIRHA, Pollutec and the Biennale de la Danse.

Lyon lifestyle atmosphere
Advice from Conciergerie Vesna

Lyon's regulations changed in 2026. The maximum rental period for a primary residence dropped to 90 days per year. In the city centre, only 3 furnished tourist rentals per landlord are now permitted. Outside the centre, compensation per square metre remains mandatory from 35 m² upward. A reliable property manager guides you through the town hall declaration, change of use and co-ownership notification. Penalties can reach €50,000 per property.

— Guest
Advice from Conciergerie Vesna

Commission is not the only indicator of profitability. A low rate can hide additional charges: onboarding fees, equipment purchases, services billed separately (restocking, interim cleaning). Always ask for a detailed annual simulation at comparable scope. Compare the net income you actually receive, not just the percentage quoted.

— Property owner
Advice from Conciergerie Vesna

Tax rules for furnished tourist rentals in Lyon are changing fast. Since the Le Meur law of 19 November 2024, you must also inform your co-ownership board and have a point added to the agenda of the next general meeting. A reliable property manager provides you with an annual summary for your rental income tax return and anticipates upcoming changes. Ask for this reporting before you sign.

How to choose your Airbnb property manager in Lyon?

Not all property managers are equal. Here are the 7 objective criteria to compare before signing:

  1. 01
    Google rating and number of reviews

    The rating alone is not enough. Prioritise companies with at least 20 verified reviews.

  2. 02
    Commission

    Between 15% and 35% depending on the provider. Some charge a flat fee. Always ask for written details.

  3. 03
    Services included

    Guest communication, cleaning, linen, maintenance, dynamic pricing, reporting. Check each item.

  4. 04
    Contractual commitment

    No commitment or a minimum term of 12 months. Read the termination conditions before signing.

  5. 05
    Coverage area

    Lyon proper only or the wider metropolitan area. Match the coverage to your property's location.

  6. 06
    Team size

    A small team offers a direct relationship. A large group relies on process.

  7. 07
    Guarantees

    CCI management licence, Galian financial guarantee, damage insurance. These safeguards protect your assets.

Always speak with 2 or 3 property managers before choosing. The personal fit matters as much as the services offered.

Your questions about choosing a property manager in Lyon

The average commission ranges between 20% and 25% of rental revenue incl. VAT, based on the 10 companies studied. The cheapest providers (Lodgis, Hosting Partners) drop to 4% or 15% on targeted plans. Premium operators (Cocoonr) go up to 35% depending on the length of stays. Vivre à Lyon communicates its commission on request only.
90 days per year from 2026 onward. The Le Meur law lowered the cap from the previous 120 days. Beyond that, you must register the property as a secondary residence and obtain a change-of-use authorisation from the town hall. In the city centre, only 3 furnished tourist rentals per landlord are permitted. Outside the centre, compensation per square metre is mandatory from 35 m².
Cross-reference several sources before signing. Check the Google Maps listing (rating and reviews), verify the SIRET on Pappers, and read detailed reviews on managed properties. Prioritise property managers with at least 20 Google reviews. Ask for 2 owner references to contact directly. Also check the CCI management licence and the financial guarantee (Galian) for premium operators.
No, it is not systematic. Several Lyon property managers operate without commitment (La Conciergerie Lyonnaise, GuestReady, Lodgis). Others require a 12-month renewable commitment (La Conciergerie des Canuts). Always check the termination clauses and whether exit fees apply. A rigid commitment combined with exit fees is a warning sign.
The most sought-after districts among guests are the Presqu'île (1st, 2nd), Vieux Lyon (5th, UNESCO-listed), Croix-Rousse (1st, 4th) and Brotteaux (6th). The Confluence district (2nd) is growing fast. Part-Dieu (3rd) attracts business tourism thanks to the TGV station. Returns depend on purchase price, occupancy rate and seasonality.
Yes, several operators work beyond Lyon proper. Cocoonr covers 23 surrounding communes. Stay Rooted also supports owners remotely outside the Lyon metro area. Hosting Services offers a 100% digital plan across France. Check the exact coverage area, any potential travel fees and the availability of a local field contact.
Yes, administrative support is included with several Lyon property managers. They help you submit the online declaration via lyon.fr and obtain the registration number mandatory on all listings. They also handle the change of use, compensation per square metre and co-ownership board notification. Ask for this service before signing the contract.
Penalties can reach €50,000 per property. The town hall can also issue a restoration order and a rental ban. The tourist tax is mandatory and failure to collect it can result in a tax reassessment. Under the Le Meur law, failure to inform the co-ownership board is also sanctioned. A reliable property manager protects you from these risks.
