It was a short weekend getaway to Lyon, France. We began our day with a visit to the Basilique Notre-Dame de Fourvière, perched atop a hill overlooking the city. The basilica's stunning architecture, with its mix of Gothic and Byzantine styles, took our breath away. We explored the interior, marveling at the beautiful mosaics and stained-glass windows, then climbed to the observation deck for a panoramic view of Lyon 😍😍😍 📍8 Place de Fourvière, 69005 Lyon, France 💰Free, but a small fee of €3 to access the observation deck We also wandered down to Vieux Lyon, the city’s charming old town. We explored the narrow cobblestone streets lined with Renaissance buildings and discovered some of the city’s famous traboules (hidden passageways). It felt like stepping back in time as we stumbled upon quaint boutiques and hidden courtyards 🙌🙌🙌 In the afternoon, we visited the Musée des Confluences, a fascinating science and anthropology museum located at the confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers. We explored the diverse exhibits, from dinosaur skeletons to cultural artifacts, and learned so much about the world’s natural and human history. The building’s futuristic design is also worth seeing up close! 📍86 Quai Perrache, 69002 Lyon, France 💰 €9 We then took a leisurely walk through the Parc de la Tête d'Or, Lyon's largest park. We loved wandering around the beautiful rose gardens 🌹 , visiting the free zoo, and even renting a paddleboat on the lake. It's a perfect spot for relaxing and enjoying some fresh air amidst nature. 📍Place du Général Leclerc, 69006 Lyon, France For dinner, we dined at Les Apothicaires, a trendy restaurant offering innovative French cuisine with a twist. I would recommend the foie gras with smoked eel and the chicken cooked in hay. The unique flavors and elegant presentation made every bite memorable. 📍 23 Rue de Sèze, 69006 Lyon, France 💰€50-€70 per person We also visited to Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse, Lyon's famous indoor food market. We explored the various stalls filled with fresh produce, cheeses, meats, and pastries. I would recommend trying the Saint-Marcellin cheese 🧀 and grabbing a coffee ☕️ and praline brioche at one of the local bakeries. 📍102 Cours Lafayette, 69003 Lyon, France 💰€10-€20 for snacks Lastly, we made our way to the Croix-Rousse district, known for its silk-weaving history. We visited the Maison des Canuts to learn about the silk-weaving traditions and then wandered through the area's vibrant streets, filled with murals, street art, and local artisan shops. The views from the hill were also fantastic! 📍10 Rue d'Ivry, 69004 Lyon, France #weekendgetaways #trip #Vacation

A park for many things
This park has a whole bunch of things. It's massive and there is so much that can be done. Best part, it was free to enter. So it is worth the effort travelling to here. As it is somewhat located outside the city. Butit offers so much from gardens, zoo, karting track, bamboos, cafe's and kiosks. A lot of people around taking a casual stroll or relaxing in shade amidst nature. I loved the path around the lake. It's beautiful and you can circle the whole lake in an hour or so. Loved seeing animals too, there were zebras and I saw a giraffe for the first time. Such a huge and strange looking animal with a cute face. I think this was time well spent. If you have enough days for lyon and don't mind travelling to here. This will make for a pleasant experience. #francetrip#lyon #summerdestinations #parks #zoo #localguides #mytravelhacks #100waysoftravel
