32 days in Lyon Itinerary

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 Cathedral Saint Jean Baptiste and Le Mur Des Canuts. Venture out of the city with trips to Les Grottes de La Balme (in La Balme-les-Grottes), Cite medievale de Perouges (in Perouges) and Clermont-Ferrand (L'Aventure Michelin & Cathedrale Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption). There's still lots to do: admire the striking features of Basilique Notre Dame de Fourviere, admire the masterpieces at Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon, walk around Parc de la Tete d'Or, and see the interesting displays at Institut & Musee Lumiere.
