We set off for the city catching a train and tram from Bron to the centre of Lyon. Everything is so different here and it's so hard when you don't know any French! But we got there eventually hah
As soon as we walked out of the train station we were in the square~
We were blown away~Lyon is beautiful!
Lyon Cathedral~
We hiked up the top of the hill to see the Basillicia, which you can see at the top of this photo~
A picture taken at midday when it was much sunnier!

Best part of the day?
The breath taking views of Lyon
What I have learned?
Lyon has secret passages all around the old quarters, called Traboules! The door ways with specific numbers on them (which we had a list of) alows you to walk through the passages, cutting across to other streets as short cuts! Very sneaky!
We went through one which was dark and spookie but still very cool
Tomorrow we are off to…
Lake Annecey
