In November our family of 5 will be flying out of Lyon around noon. We would like to spend the night before in a quaint, smallish town roughly an hour or less (driving) from the airport. Any suggestions of places for us to consider would be appreciated.

I've been through it but never stayed in a hotel there, however the medieval town of Crémieu, about a half hour east of Saint-Éxupery airport might be worth a look. Population about 3,000, with a pretty neat church and town hall area and some old ramparts.
If you want to go all out medieval, there's always Pérouges, also about 30 minutes away, but north of the airport. I'm not sure what the population of that is -- probably fewer than 1,000 (not counting tourists).

Thank you for the suggestion of Cremieu, The other Rob. It is exactly what I was looking for!
