Lyon in autumn is nothing short of magical. The crisp cool air and the vibrant hues of red, orange, and yellow leaves made this trip feel like stepping into a painting. It was the perfect time to explore this historic city, with temperatures just right for strolling the charming streets. The Charm of Lyon’s Autumn Leaves As I wandered through Lyon’s Vieux Lyon (Old Lyon), the tree-lined streets were bursting with color. The autumn leaves seemed to glow in the soft sunlight, especially in Parc de la Tête d'Or, one of the most beautiful parks I’ve visited. With the lake shimmering in the background and leaves rustling in the breeze, it was a perfect setting for a peaceful afternoon walk. The Crisp Air & Cozy Cafés The temperatures were just cool enough to enjoy wearing a cozy scarf, but not too cold to stop exploring. The crisp air made for perfect walking weather, and I loved ducking into the quaint cafés scattered across the city to warm up. Whether sipping a hot chocolate or a cup of espresso, it was the ideal way to take a break and watch the world go by. Exploring Lyon’s Streets I took full advantage of the cooler weather and explored Lyon’s historic districts on foot. The Presqu'île district is filled with stunning architecture, and the traboules (hidden passageways) in Vieux Lyon were even more enchanting with the autumn glow peeking through. The Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière provided incredible panoramic views, with the city unfolding in front of me, surrounded by the colorful foliage of the hills. Lyon’s Fall Flavors Autumn also brought a change in Lyon’s cuisine. I indulged in hearty Lyonnaise specialties like quenelles and saucisson, which were perfect for the season. For dessert, the city’s famous chocolate and pastries were a must-try, especially in cozy patisseries where the aroma of freshly baked goods filled the air. Overall Lyon in autumn is a beautiful blend of stunning scenery, rich history, and delicious food. The colors of the season combined with the crisp weather made it a perfect time to explore and enjoy everything this city has to offer. If you’re looking for a fall destination in Europe, Lyon should be at the top of your list! #Lyon #AutumnInLyon #FallInEurope #VibrantColors #Wanderlust #FrenchAdventure #CaféCulture #LyonnaiseCuisine #AutumnTravel

Lyon is another city in the French trip that I really like. We bought a one-day pass that can be used for 24 hours after the first use. The price is 6.70€. It is very convenient to travel. Lyon has the Rhone River, which originates in the Alps and flows through the city center before flowing through various cities in Provence to the south and into the Mediterranean Sea below Arles. The Saone River flows down to meet under the old city. The important tourist attractions of the city are usually located between these two rivers. Our plan is to travel and relax, walk around the old city of Lyon or Vieux Lyon, and go up to see a high angle view of Lyon at the Basilica of Notre Dame of Fourvière, a church on the top of Fourviere. According to records, it was built to dedicate to the Virgin Mary who saved the city of Lyon from the Black Death or the deadly plague. That killed more than 100 million Europeans You can use the one day pass to take the F2 tram up to the place Théâtre Gallo Romain de Lyon-Fourvière This theater was built in the 17th century to the 15th century BC by the order of Emperor Augustus. Unfortunately, we could only see the outside because we arrived late and it was closed. Street Art at Mur des canuts, large building murals in the middle of the city's 4-way intersection #lyon #france #prove

The Saint Jean Baptiste or the Lyon cathedral is a magnificent cathedral located in the heart of old town, Lyon. The train station tok is very near. That and it being free to enter did mean substatial crowds. But don't let it being free make you think it's any less. It's huge and has your classic cathedral design with charming stained glass. Which reminds me that if you visit during the noon, you get to see these stained glasses at work as light passes through them. But noon would most likely involve a queue to get in. The ceiling is impressive as well. The courtyard is nice too and it provides shade. Good spot to relax for a while. All in all a great stop in old town that is worthy of your time and attention. #francetrip#cathedral #lyon #mytravelhacks #localguides #summerdestinations

I don't mean to exaggerate. Also, I haven't seen all the basilica's out there but with extensive travels across Europe and more specifically France. I have willingly and at times half heartedly ticked several churches and basilica's off my list. There are very few that stand out as the Basilica of Notre Dame in Lyon does. The only other stunning instance as such was in Vatican. Firstly the beautiful location on the Furviere hill. You do have a funicular ride to bring you there and back. That simplifies things. The location allows for brilliant views. And it's sort of a complex with another building and and equally impressive crypt. The most eye catching part are the mosaics and paintings that have a surreal effect. There is a chapel next door too. Amongst the list of historical sights I saw, this one ranks number one for Lyon. Highly recommended! #francetrip#lyon #basilica #notredame

The Saint George church of Lyon is noticeably a very unique structure in the skyline. It is best seen from the suspension bridge or from the other side of the river. It's shape and high tops stand out compared to other structures in the vicinity. This beautifully built Neo gothic church also happens to be a listed monumnet. The church is located in the centre of Lyon in an area called as Vieux Lyon. It's got interesting architecture and some nice restaurants and bars. And no I am not recommending getting drunk after the church visit. Then again you are on a holiday. #francetrip#saintgeorge #lyon #neogothic #summerdestinations #localguides #historicallandmarks

This public square is massive and offers a lovely view of Fourviere. There is a tourist information office and loads of parking spaces in the garade underneath. You could walk from here to the old town or make a stop here later just tk relax. I also noticed a lot of benches around the park. There's fountains too and it's a lively place. Making it very pleasant to stop by or people watch. I got here via the metro line A. And i think it's a great spot to start your Lyon explorations. There's a washroom too behind the tourist information office. Just in case you are around and in need of one. #francetrip#lyon

This park has a whole bunch of things. It's massive and there is so much that can be done. Best part, it was free to enter. So it is worth the effort travelling to here. As it is somewhat located outside the city. Butit offers so much from gardens, zoo, karting track, bamboos, cafe's and kiosks. A lot of people around taking a casual stroll or relaxing in shade amidst nature. I loved the path around the lake. It's beautiful and you can circle the whole lake in an hour or so. Loved seeing animals too, there were zebras and I saw a giraffe for the first time. Such a huge and strange looking animal with a cute face. I think this was time well spent. If you have enough days for lyon and don't mind travelling to here. This will make for a pleasant experience. #francetrip#lyon #summerdestinations #parks #zoo #localguides #mytravelhacks #100waysoftravel

While this is no doubt one of the best museums about natural history. I was so stunned by its design. It's eye catching. The museum's location is special too. Right opposite the confluence, meeting point of the Rhone and Saone rivers. From the glass structure within you get lovely views. The collection and exhibits are impressive, covering diverse themes such as life and death, scientific exploration, cultural exchange, and even love. The museum features a vast collection, including paleontology, zoology, and ethnography artifacts. Temporary exhibitions add to the museum's appeal. The architecture and design was what attracted me the most. Simply put it is spectacular, a unique blend of lines and curves. This is definitely worth a visit. #francetrip #historicallandmarks #summerdestinations #100waysoftravel #confluence #myhiddengems #musuem #lyon

#francetrip Just returned from a fantastic trip to Lyon, France, and it exceeded all my expectations! 🏙️🍷 Lyon is a city that perfectly blends rich history, vibrant culture, and incredible food. We started our visit in the old town, Vieux Lyon, with its narrow, winding streets and Renaissance architecture. The entrance to the impressive Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière was free, and the views of the city from the top were absolutely stunning. ⛪️🌟 We spent some time exploring the Musée des Beaux-Arts, where the €8 entrance fee gave us access to a vast collection of art spanning from ancient times to the modern era. The museum itself, housed in a former abbey, was a marvel. 🎨 After soaking up some culture, we indulged in Lyon’s renowned cuisine at a traditional bouchon. The coq au vin and local wine were delicious! 🍷🥘 In the afternoon, we strolled through the Parc de la Tête d'Or, a beautiful park with a large lake and a botanical garden—perfect for a relaxing walk. 🚶♂️🌳 We also enjoyed exploring the traboules, secret passageways between buildings that date back to the Renaissance. Lyon truly lives up to its reputation as the food capital of France, with every meal being a memorable experience. If you’re a fan of history, culture, and gourmet food, Lyon is a must-visit! #trip #Lyon #FrenchCuisine #VieuxLyon #MuseeDesBeauxArts #TravelFrance

#summerdestinations During my summer vacation, I visited the Gier Roman Aqueduct in France, and it was a fascinating experience! 🌉🇫🇷 Located near Lyon, this ancient marvel of engineering stretches across the picturesque countryside, and seeing it up close was like stepping into history. The best part? There’s no entrance fee, so you can explore the site freely! The Gier Aqueduct is one of the longest Roman aqueducts in France, originally built to supply water to the city of Lugdunum (modern-day Lyon). Walking alongside its towering arches and well-preserved remains, I was struck by the ingenuity of the ancient Romans. The surrounding area is peaceful and scenic, making it a perfect spot for a quiet walk or a picnic. 🌿🍷 After exploring the aqueduct, I took a short drive to Lyon, where I spent the afternoon wandering through the vibrant Old Town. With its charming cobblestone streets, Renaissance architecture, and delicious local cuisine, it’s a must-visit. I treated myself to some traditional Lyonnais dishes at a local bouchon, which was the perfect way to end the day. 🍽️🏙️ The Gier Roman Aqueduct is a must-see for history buffs and anyone interested in ancient architecture. Its impressive scale and the beautiful surroundings make it a worthwhile stop on any trip to the Lyon region. #trip #RomanAqueduct #Lyon #AncientHistory #FrenchCountryside #ArchitectureLover

#hiddengems Lyon offers such a rich package of History, culture, stunning cuisine, architecture and a lot less tourists. This can be a wonderful alternative to Paris or say if you're done with the most important things in Paris. Lyon should be the better place to head to. There is a museum for arts, culture, archeology, textile etc. All this reflects on the theme of Lyon. With cinema aficionados, Lyon is also famous for Lumiere brothers. What I love and especially after having to deal with crowds and tourist traps in Paris, The initimate atmosphere that Lyon offers. It's so peaceful. And seeing different things or visiting places doesn't require as much effort. It's an experience you must have to understand what is so wonderful about it. #hiddengems #france #lyon

#timetotravel The Basilica is located on the Fouvrière hill, overlooking Lyon and there are 3 ways to get there: 1) To take the tram from Vieux Lyon to Fourvière 2) Hike (~18 mins on foot) 3) By car (~4 mins) I took the 1st option going up and the 2nd option down. I would definitely recommend taking the tram because the tram itself is another attraction in lyon (much like the peak tram in HK). The Basilica is a majestic architecture with both outstanding interior and exterior design. It is definitely worth visiting. #lyon #france #境外遊

#EuropeanTravel #France #Lyon #lyon 📍Lyon, France 🇫🇷 💙 My grandmother and I went on a trip to Lyon, France. The Saone and Rhone rivers flow around the center of Lyon, and they are large rivers with spectacular views. In addition, the rivers have refreshing colors, making them great for taking pictures. Also, there are many restaurants in Lyon where you can eat Lyon home-cooked meals called bouchons, so you can enjoy a food tour. Kneel is a Lyon-style dish made with softly-wrapped fish meat, and I highly recommend it! There are also many things to see, such as the city hall and the wall of Lyonnais.

Lyon is a magnificent city in the southeast of France. it's known for being the gastronomical capital of France with it's exquisite cousine. Make sure to try out one of the many bouchons on the west coast of the Sona river. after that climb up to the top where you can have a spectacular view of the city from the terrace near the basilica. Worth every step to the top (or you can use the funicular upwards and go back using the stairs - they are not so many). #internationaltravel #lyon #france

Lyon is the third largest city in France, famous for its fine wine and food. You can find many pubs and restaurants just by opening the map. It is the city with the second most Michelin restaurants. This time I tried Burgundy by Matthieu, which was recommended by the Michelin guide. This restaurant is famous for having the best wine from the burgundy region in Lyon. The dishes are made according to the chef's intuition with seasonal fresh food, and all the ingredients are freshly delivered directly from farms in nearby areas. There are 3 menu options: Découverte, Intuition and Dégustation. Each menu offers 2 wine pairs. Since this restaurant is famous for its burgundy wine as wine pair, I chose the prestige wine pair. Meun intuition includes appetizers, 3 courses, cheese and dessert, and the wine pair includes 4 bottles of wine. At the beginning, there were 3 appetizers with a glass of white wine. The sour and sweet taste of the white wine combined with the 3 snacks immediately increased my appetite. One of the scallops was very delicious. Then serve homemade bread with butter The first dish was foie gras, which melted in the mouth and was served with corn sauce. It was just right to be eaten with bread. It was so delicious that you had to use bread to soak up all the sauce. The first bottle of white wine also went well with this foie gras. The second dish was fish, the presentation was really beautiful, and the second glass of white wine was also served with it. It was a lighter white wine with lower acidity, but when paired with the fish dish, the freshness of the fish was brought out ^.^ The wine tasted better with each glass! The third dish is a very special lobster soup and lobster. There is a frozen object in the middle of the lobster soup. The soup is both cold and hot, which is very interesting. The lobster soup is also very rich and flavorful. The third glass of wine is red wine, which is full of fruity aroma and deep red in color, a very beautiful color. I didn’t expect that red wine and seafood would have such unexpected effects. The fourth course was duck, the sauce was served in a cute little sauce pan, it was sour and sweet and very delicious. The fourth glass of red wine is more fruity than the third one, smooth, sweet and full of fruit flavor. Then the cheese spread came out. The waiter asked me which cheese I wanted to eat, but I greedily responded with all of them. Then he carefully prepared each cheese for me and told me to start with that cheese. When the desserts were served, I was really surprised by the variety and quantity. There were cakes, macarons, and a dessert for each person. Dining at Burgundy by Matthieu is very comfortable. The service is attentive and friendly. What I appreciate most is that they allow children as young as one and a half years old to enter the restaurant. You should know that high-end restaurants in Hong Kong do not accommodate children, but when I made reservations at high-end restaurants in France and Italy, they would accept me to bring my children to dine, which really touched me! #lyon #LyonFood #Burgundy by Matthieu
