AT#921 - Travel to Lyon, France

Author: Chris Christensen November 23, 2024 Duration: 1:04:17
Why should you go to Lyon? Audra says, "It's a magical town. It is a little bit like Paris in the fact that it has, in fact, two rivers, so maybe a little bit better than Paris, two rivers running through it, a beautiful church on a hill, beautiful French architecture, wonderful museums, wonderful cathedrals, and it's also known as the Culinary Capital of France." Audra's 7-day itinerary for visiting Lyon, France, is as follows: Day 1: Fourvière Hill and Vieux Lyon (Old Lyon) Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière: Start at this iconic hilltop basilica, known for its stunning Byzantine mosaics, Gothic and Romanesque architecture, and panoramic views of Lyon. Take the funicular to the top and enjoy a guided or night tour (available in specific months). ... https://amateurtraveler.com/travel-to-lyon-france/ Learn more about your ad choices.
