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 Walking tours. Venture out of the city with trips to Clermont-Ferrand (L'Aventure Michelin & Cathedrale Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption), Les Grottes de La Balme (in La Balme-les-Grottes) and Cite medievale de Perouges (in Perouges). There's still lots to do: get a new perspective on things with Boat Tours & Water Sports, explore the stunning scenery at Les Gorges du Fier, see the interesting displays at Institut & Musee Lumiere, and don't miss a visit to La Renaissance Du Vieux Lyon.
