"Lyon, city of lights" a Lyon Travel Page by Bigjones

For Christmas 2004, Pascal and I were lucky to spend our holiday at his parents' place in the region of Lyon. Lyon is a very charming city that was declared a Unesco world heritage (and is probably a world heritage of gastronomy too ;-) It's really fantastic with its two famous rivers (the Rhone and the Soane), its passageways and little cobbled streets, its painted walls, its lights, its hills, its restaurants called "bouchons", etc. But even if I love that city a lot, our plan was to spend only a few days there and then head to Venise in Italy and to Vienna in Austria (by car). But due to the relatively bad climatic conditions and lack of time (only one week), we soon had to change our mind. But as you'll see, we found a pleasant and funny alternative as we finally saw Venise and Vienne .... just not where we thought !

We found Venise in the St-Jean street in Lyon .... well, may be not so romantic I agree ;-))

Well, we also found Vienne not so far from there ... but I don't think the inhabitants also dance the waltz there ...

As you can see, the camera was a bit far, my boyfriend had not enough time to be on the picture with me this time ;-)
