FRANCE LYON

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
