Lyon —
As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Lyon is an elegant French city with significant Roman ruins, grand cathedrals, and spectacular examples of Gothic and Renaissance architecture.
Along with plenty of sightseeing, this city also boasts leisurely strolls along the river, a vivacious nightlife, and world-class cuisine that has led to its reputation as a culinary capital. Delve into the old quarters of Vieux Lyon, steeped in spectacular Renaissance buildings that were once part of the city's silk trade industry. Within this picture-perfect district, be sure to explore the fascinating passageways of the Traboules.
Other noteworthy sites include the Notre-Dame de Fouviere, the Musee des Beaux-Arts de Lyon, and the Ancient Theatre of Fourviere. After a busy day of sightseeing, enjoy a romantic picnic at the Parc de la Tete d'Or, or sample a glass of French wine at one of the city's trendy bars.
