First time visit in 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
