Culinary Capital of France
Lyon is a historical city with a vibrant cultural scene as the birthplace of cinema, the silk capital of the globe, and the second biggest Renaissance city following Venice.Step off the beaten path and head to Cathedrale saint Jean-Baptiste and Le Mur Des Canuts. Venture out of the city with trips to Clermont-Ferrand (L'Aventure Michelin & Cathedrale Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption), Cite medievale de Perouges (in Perouges) and Les Grottes de La Balme (in La Balme-les-Grottes). There's still lots to do: admire the striking features of Basilique Notre Dame de Fourviere, explore the stunning scenery at Les Gorges du Fier, see the interesting displays at Institut & Musee Lumiere, and get a new perspective on things with Boat Tours & Water Sports.
