What to do in Lyon in February? Between Chandeleur and Valentine’s Day, the month of February is packed with festive events, but that’s never enough for the editors of Lyon Secret, who have put together an anthology of outings and activities, each more entertaining than the last.
Start February with a concert by Justice
There’s no need to introduce the French duo who, like Daft Punk, have revolutionized electro music. After many years on the sidelines, they’re back in the spotlight with their album “Hyperdrama”. Definitely one of the must-see concerts of 2025.
📍 LDLC Arena, 5 Avenue Simone Veil, 69150 Décines-Charpieu
📅 Date: Saturday, February 1, 2025

Chandeleur feast
February 2 is Chandeleur, the perfect occasion to honor Breton gastronomy. If you know what a spanell, rozell or billig is, you’ve got me. If you don’t, it’s time for you to discover the richness of this simple and unifying recipe: the crêpe. For that, at Lyon Secret, as big consumers, we recommend the best crepes in Lyon: at Breizh Café.
📍 Breizh Café, 3 Pl. d’Albon, Lyon 1
