Departure: Lyon
Set on an island in the middle of the Rhone and Saone rivers, Lyon offers a relaxed atmosphere away from the Paris tourist circuit. Lyon is a genuine gourmet capital, and its famous Bouchon cuisine is worth discovering, while each corner of the city showcases homegrown cultural and literary elements such as Puppet Guignol and The Little Prince. As France's third largest city and a former capital of the silk trade, Lyon was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1998, a testament to its aesthetic architecture and historical significance. Some Lyon highlights include Fourviere Hill, accessed via a delightful funicular ride; the mysterious Croix Rousse, with more than 400 secret passages; Notre Dame de Fourviere Basilica; and Le Petit Musée Fantastique de Guignol.
