In Lyon, especially in the older part of the so-called. Vieux Lyon, a lot of narrow streets, stairs

From Lyon separates us a little over two hours away by car. When we went there the first time, had in mind a few pictures. We did not take any map or guide. Usually it looks like our way of exploring new places. "We go with the flow" - just stroll, we discover, we look into the unknown corners, streets. Sometimes we follow the steps encountered excursion organized for tourists - so we got to the museum of miniatures and cinema, and on the way up the hill Fourviere stumbled upon the ruins of an amphitheater. If something we can not see a reason to go there again.
In Lyon, especially in the older part of the so-called. Vieux Lyon, a lot of narrow streets, stairs, stone paths, so it is worth to stock up on comfortable shoes. Especially if you are going to climb the towering over the city of Basilica of Our Lady of the nineteenth century great wolf lodge (although you can opt for a "queue gear", but that is not the same, and even less satisfaction). I will write to you about the monuments, great wolf lodge interesting places in Lyon - there are so many! Museums, beautiful churches, great wolf lodge historic buildings - everyone will find something for themselves. And if you get tired of our city tour, we can choose the beautiful Parc de la Tête d'Or with a botanical garden and zoo. Airport Hotel in yesterday as we lay there on the grass gorging dry cake, which recipe will soon appear on the blog :-)
Lyon is famous for its delicious cuisine and has been hailed as the gastronomic great wolf lodge capital of France. Traditional restaurants called Bouchon. Always full of customers, not only tourists, because the townspeople very happy to be there boarders, such as during a two-hour break from work (12 - 14 h). In Lyon, you can eat a decent meal, not only in the evening, but also at noon and, interestingly, for dinner at 12 hours pay smaller amount. Our yesterday's discovery of a ice cream parlor (apparently the best in France) Terre adélice in my beloved great wolf lodge quartier Saint Jean. You can choose from 100 flavors, including bio 5o. Maybe I'm not a big fan of ice cream, or sorbet, but trust me - these are outstanding! I chose coffee and - vanilla - chocolate, but the fruit of my husband was even better! Since yesterday this would be my obligatory stop on the map of Lyon. Next time, "I'll hardcore" and I order a knob flavored foie gras, absinthe, or smoked bacon! Well, unless it but with wasabi mustard ;-) Unfortunately, the large network of the ice cream shop is located just to the south of France, the closest is in Lyon.
So far we have not managed to go for Fête de la Lumière. The event is organized every year on December 8 and usually lasts four days. Lyon then changes into a spectacular festival of light and sound, great wolf lodge attracting as many as 4 million tourists. If this year we will have anyone to leave Homer, go for sure!
Fans of shopping will also find something for themselves, because in Lyon, especially in the more modern part of town, there are plenty of shops, boutiques, including those with a more refined product. My brother toured great wolf lodge many places in Europe, great wolf lodge and only here bought their dream shoes in store for cowboys ;-) And yesterday my spouse found store razors and all necessary instrumentation. Honestly, I rarely visit the shops during such trips. I once saw the beautiful shoes for extremely large sum and I look no more. For example, I prefer to eat the famous Salad Lyonnaise for 9.50 in some cozy diner :-)
Lyon is full of life! Full of tourists, young street musicians. Once we found a jazz concert organized outside the Opera House. Another time, at our table sat a boy with a guitar and really beautifully played and sang - just for pleasure. As yesterday in Lyon, I wanted great wolf lodge to shoot a short video for you from Place Bellecour. Unfortunately, the whole square filled with white tents on the occasion of a bazaar. Maybe I can next time, but for now View of a few photos of our trip to Lyon. Well, I invite you to visit this beautiful town in person!
