"Lyon -- Paris' culture without boring... " a Lyon Travel Page by mattreider

Lyon has a passing resemblance to France's first city. Old apartment blocks, ancient and modern churches, even a small iron tower. However, the lack of museums or special monuments allows one to enjoy what France really has to offer -- great food and wine, a pleasurable lifestyle, and free time.

Lyon has enough tourist attractions -- a few churches, a Roman amphitheater, and an Old town; but the real fun begins when you find somewhere to sit and eat, and watch the town go by.
