Vintage Lyon Bistro on a Cobblestone Street

On a narrow cobblestone street in Vieux Lyon, a vintage French bistro spills warm light onto its outdoor terrace. Small round metal tables with white tablecloths are surrounded by classic wrought-iron chairs. A faded red awning stretches over the sidewalk, catching a golden-hour glow. Behind the terrace, a pale limestone building with tall arched windows and black wrought-iron balconies features pastel shutters and delicate stonework. Wooden signs and lanterns add old-world charm. The air carries the scent of coffee and pastries as cyclists glide by and pedestrians wander. In the distance, timber-framed houses and tiled roofs line the street, adding to the nostalgic ambiance. The scene feels romantic and alive, with sunlit textures of stone and iron, soft fabric, and warm amber tones. Render in photorealistic, cinematic lighting with shallow depth of field in the foreground and crisp architectural details, using a 50–85mm perspective and a warm color palette of amber, cream, and limestone gray.
