Day 1
Lyon
Lyon is a city synonymous with the silk
industry, the French Resistance and a reputation as the
'gastronomic capital of the world'. It is located between the Rhone
and the Saône rivers in the south of France. Lyon is home to some
of the finest restaurants and chefs in the country and forms the
second largest metropolitan area in France, after Paris.
Besides the many restaurants, bistros and
cafes that entice people to this endearing city, Lyon boasts three
large city parks, some 30 museums and countless monuments
symbolising Lyon's development through the ages. It is home to the
world-famous Lyon Opera House, whose orchestra's reputation has
travelled far beyond French borders.
UNESCO lists Lyon as a World Heritage site
due to its rich and diverse 2,000-year history, evident in the
awe-inspiring Romanesque architecture and medieval buildings in Old
Lyon, including the Primatiale St-Jean Cathedral, and the
15th-century Hôtel du Chamarier.
To the west, Fourviere Hill offers
panoramic views of the city, and its own attractions include the
Ancient Theatre of Fourvière, and the Musée de la Civilisation
Gallo-Romaine.
By day, Lyon can be viewed by boat on a
trip down its rivers and, at night, dinner cruises add an element
of fantasy to the city. Lyon is a city rich in food, history and
culture, making it a hidden treasure in the French landscape. It
certainly lives up to its Roman name, Lugdunum, meaning 'the hill
of light'.
