Lyon

Lyon is our first stop of our three weeks journey to south France. It is the third largest city in France, so we thought it would give a similar touristic vibe like Paris. But we were completely wrong, because we hardly saw any large group of tourists, only a few travelers like us or some local tourists. And the best part is: no one tried to scam us or to rob our belongings. Maybe we were just lucky or just happened to be there at the right time and place.

It was the last Sunday in June as we strolled around Lyon. First, we visited Théâtre et Musée Gallo-romains and imagined how cool it would be to watch a play with the view of the city as the background. No wonder they still use it for concerts and plays in modern days. Then, we walked to Basillique de Fourvière, which is not so far from the Théâtre, before exploring Vieux Lyon. Too bad that we only had one day to explore Lyon, because we had to leave for Marseille in the evening.
