Frequently asked questions — Lyon birth poster
Ordering, maternities, lead times, styles — the essentials for Lyon.
- How to order a Lyon birth poster?
- In the Birth to Wall editor, enter the child's name, birth date and time, and type « Lyon » in the city field. Autocomplete offers precise districts if you want to refine (e.g. « Lyon center » or a neighborhood name). Free live preview: you only pay when you order the print, and the price is shown before payment.
- Which Lyon maternities does the editor recognize?
- All — Birth to Wall relies on OpenStreetMap, which lists every French healthcare facility. Best-known in Lyon: Hôpital Femme-Mère-Enfant (HFME), Hôpital de la Croix-Rousse, Hôpital Saint-Joseph Saint-Luc. If the maternity is newer or very specific, just enter its address.
- How fast is delivery to Lyon?
- The A3 or A2 poster on 200gsm matte paper is printed in Europe by our partner Gelato. Shipping cost and lead time to Lyon are calculated at checkout from the address — usually 5–7 business days in France.
- Which style for a Lyon birth poster?
- There are 4 styles: Fine line (clean lines, map, sky or text), Watercolour (soft, ideal for a nursery), Starry night (the sky above Lyon at the minute of birth) and Typographic (name and data only). You can try them all in the editor for free.
- Can I order a poster retroactively for a Lyon birth from years ago?
- Yes, no date limit. The cartographic engine reconstructs Lyon from the current OSM base (street layouts change very little over 50 years), and the starry sky is recomputed for the exact date and time. A frequent gift to parents or grandparents for an adult child's birth.
- Does Birth to Wall work for Mother's or Father's Day in Lyon?
- Yes — it's the most common use after the birth gift itself. There are dedicated Mother's Day and Father's Day pages. Order ahead: the delivery time to Lyon is shown at checkout.
