LYON – Rhône-Alpes – CITYTRIP
Lyon is the third-largest city in France. It is located in the country’s east-central part at the confluence of the rivers Rhône and Saône. The districts of Vieux-Lyon, the Fourvière hill and the slopes of the Croix-Rousse are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. A Mecca of French gastronomy, Lyon was once a fairground city where merchants from all over Europe came to trade.
“This tour was very diverse and rich. The students really enjoyed discovering the “bouchons lyonnais” and the “traboules” and were fascinated by the Vieux Lyon.”
We really enjoyed visiting:
- Musée des Confluences
- Basilica of Notre-dame de Fourvière
- The Vieux Lyon
- Parc de la tête d’or
