Lyon France

Historically famous for its silk trade and medieval markets, Lyon is the second largest city in France and one of Europe's top culinary destinations. The core of Lyon is situated on a strip of land between the Rhône and Saône Rivers, divided by the city's main street, rue Victor Hugo. Part-Dieu, located on the east bank of the Rhône, is the city's financial district. The vieille ville, on the west bank, is a neighborhood of 17th and 18th century homes and cobblestone streets. Best viewed from across the Saône, the Cathedrale St-Jean stands among red tiles and grey stone, seemingly unaffected by the passing barges. It's known for its pronounced nave and ornate rose windows. From the Fourvière esplanade, you can look down on the cityscape. Lyon boasts a wide array of museums with impressive collections, showcasing everything from textiles and banking to Gallo Roman life and local history. In Lyon, people don't just eat, they dine. You can't leave without treating yourself to the exquisite cuisine lyonnaise. Naturally, whatever you eat should be accompanied by a local Beaujolais or a white burgundy from the nearby Mâcon villages.
