One of France’s top 5 cities to visit, Lyon is a real gem, with a mix of old and new, and some unique features, we collected 3 great reasons to include Lyon when you go for vacation in France.
The Traboules
These secret passageways can be found in a few cities around France but are most notable in Lyon, particularly in the old city. There are about 40 of these passageways open to the public, make an adventure out of looking for them or take one of the many guided tours available.
Les Pampres Rouges
Lyon is a perfect town to visit if you’re a foodie, particularly if you’re looking for traditional French cuisine. One great restaurant located in the old town and offering great food with great service is the accomplished Les Pampres Rouges. Enjoy the atmosphere and delicious food, à la Lyonnaise.
La Fresque des Lyonnais
The city of Lyon loves celebrating local talent, and it does so in public with street frescoes. Central to this attraction is The Lyonnais Fresco that’s placed on a “blind wall” of a building and is a mural of a building front and street corner with characters that represent Lyon’s history.
