Hotels in Lyon

Could you help me in finding a hotel in Lyon , France ?  I will be visiting for
a couple of weeks this summer.  Thanks.

A bit more notice is usually helpful because hotels tend to book up quickly
but here are a few sites that I hope will be useful.

Lyon Hotel Reservation System:
lyon.hotels-nb.com/hotels-a-j.asp

Plug in dates for availability (scroll down when the page pops up):
gullivershotels.com/discount/lyon-hotels

Claims to have all hotels in France listed:

For some good, cheaper finds you may just want to search some of the typical
travel sites such as expedia.com or travelocity.com.

Story Tellers in Tunisia

I heard of a festival called something like 'Storytellers' in Tunisia .  Could you please provide me with further information regarding this event such as when it is and how I would go about getting there?

Without the specific name it was difficult for me to find any information.  I couldn't come up with anything relating to the title 'Storytellers' but here are two links that may be helpful.  Perhaps seeing the name of the festival will ring a bell in your mind.
