This weekend I went to a town that’s been on my France to do list for quite some time now-Lyon! Lyon is the 3rd largest city in France and I loved it!
To start where is Lyon? I circled in green on the map Lille (where I am based) and Lyon-to give you a sense of distance it’s about a 3 hour train ride.
Lyon has 2 rivers running through it the Rhône and the Saône, which create this little peninsula called La Presqu’île (almost an island).
Section 2 is Vieux Lyon (the old part of town):
Here are some views of the Saône river
I didn’t arrive in Lyon until 4pm, so I didn’t have much time for wandering, but more to come on Day 2!
