| Page Views: 2,952 Last Visit to Lyon: May, 2003 | More than just a One Night Stand... by Radiomom - last update: Feb 15, 2005 |
More than just a One Night Stand... and yet, that was all we could fit in this trip. Lyon is a terrific city, with food "to-die-for." One night, sandwiched between only slightly longer stays in the Dordogne and Burgundy. But, we found a really vibrant city and a "foodie's paradise" in Lyon. |
|  | We stayed in the center of town, so we got to see some really exciting shops for home and kitchen decor as well as fashionable ready-to-wear. But across the Saone river bridge is the Saint-Jean quarter of old Lyon, with terrific restaurants and nightspots....and of course the intricate "passages" with residences dating back to Renaissance times. |
| Apartments with Passage entry |
| | Go through a door in the wall...and find a complex of apartments located off a common courtyard. |

| Pros: | "Wonderful city with it's own special feel" | | Cons: | "We didn't have enough time there this trip :-(" | | In A Nutshell: | "Foodie's paradise!" |

How long were you in France? I hope to be in SE France late this month, for way too short a time. I spent my entire life thinking that I was Scots-Irish only to discover a river and a very small town in France with my surname as part of their place name. | Callavetta Fri May 13, 2005 21:25 UTC
I love Lyon. It was my first experience with France. I met my daughter there after her year abroad as an exchange student. That might have had an impact on my emotions! | mauro_pd Sun Nov 30, 2003 18:26 UTC
if I will ever have enough time next week I'll get truckloads of candies :-) |
