With a history stretching back over 2000 years, an exceptional cultural
legacy and several districts classed as UNESCO world heritage sites,
Lyon is a city where there is History around every corner.
To discover the city in the best possible way, several types of trip
are on offer for visitors : travel by segway, e-bike, boat... The main thing
is to take your time and enjoy a few chats with the locals, so as to
discover the real spirit of Lyon.
Another feature of Lyon is the appeal it holds for foodies, offering up
as it does all the culinary treasures provided by the neighbouring
terroirs. When you’re dining out, you can mix things up by visiting
the famous Bouchons (bistrots typical of the city), Michelin-
starred establishments, or establishments run by
innovative young chefs.
