Where to stay in Lyon: Best hotels for accommodation for Crystal Palace fans

Crystal Palace supporters are gearing up for their first European away trip of the 2026-27 campaign on October 15, when the Premier League Eagles lock horns with French giants Lyon at Groupama Stadium in the Europa League.

This represents Palace's first continental away adventure since they lifted the Conference League trophy at Red Bull Arena in Leipzig at the end of May, when a single Jean-Philippe Mateta goal was enough to defeat Rayo Vallecano.

Pierre Sage's troops have made an exceptional start to their first-ever Europa League season, securing a comfortable 4-0 victory over Lech Poznan on matchday one of the League Phase prior to the September/October international break.

If you are one of the Palace supporters making the trip to Decines-Charpieu for this European fixture, below we run through the best and cheapest options for accomodation in Lyon.
