Lyon, Capital of the Gauls, Gastronomy and Singing
Lyon, an attractive city in the Rhône-Alpes region. This city endowed with two rivers, the Rhône and the Saône with their banks so different, seduces the visitor for the density and the diversity of its cultural heritage. Pleasant stay where culture, gastronomy and song are on the program. The beautiful city of Lyon and its rivers, offer you a multitude of visits thanks to themed circuits such as archaeological Lyon, Lyonnaise gastronomy, Old Lyon and Guignol, the Croix-Rousse district of the canuts and the magnificent Painted Wall dedicated to them, the Traboules, the Confluence, the places of Resistance and the Basilica of Fourvière. You will sing and meet a local choir in a church, a temple or in the beautiful Saint Jean cathedral in Vieux Lyon. You can also stroll around Place Bellecour and around the peninsula, whose building facades offer a certain charm.
