Wonderful video:) We are visiting Paris and Lyon for a week each in September. I would have loved to have seen you both enjoy the bakeries and watched you guys enjoy a meal. Soooo yes, you have to definitely go back for another visit:) We are staying just a couple of minutes walk from the funicular leading to the cathedral so we will be in the hub of things. Frankly, I am more excited about Lyon as it seems nice and easy to get around. Thank you again for sharing. The video was great and the audio quality and content was awesome.
Well done for the walk through video of my hometown. Just some additional info for your viewers: Traboules (cross walkways): best time to find them open is the first part of weekdaymornings when they are open for the postman, the janitors, cleaners, etc. Cathedral St Jean in Old Lyon is the only cathedral (bishop’s seat) in Lyon. Fourviere on the hill is a basilica, one down from a cathedral in the hierarchy. There’s another basilica in Lyon, Ainay on the presquile, which is the oldest operating church in Lyon. Well worth a visit because it was built with the old Roman era pillars which were on the alter of the 3 Gauls on the slopes of the Croix Rousse just above the “coliseum “ (for gladiators) you mentioned. Old Lyon is not the only place to go in Lyon, a tourist trap in the summer: try Croix Rousse plateau for its morning markets and Notting Hill like atmosphere, Confluence museum, and see the 2 rivers meet (Rhône & Soane), slopes of Croix Rousse for bars and coffee shops, etc, So much to say, but best: just go explore. Have fun!
Nice video 😀. The pickpocket is very surprising. I live in old Lyon, I would point out that the BOULANGERIE that you say and show is not very good (the owner changed 1 year ago) but tourists don't realize it because they don't necessarily know how to recognize a good Boulangerie. THE new owner is above all a trader who wants to sell to tourists. THE best BOULANGERIE is in the ST Paul district of old Lyon. not very far: The Saint Paul bakery. Or the “PRALUS” patisserie which is 10 meters away. Most restaurants in old Lyon are of average quality except 5 or 6 restaurants according to TripAdvisor. It's the same thing in Paris (I lived there for 20 years), if you stay in very touristy areas, restaurants above all want to make money with average quality... To find good restaurants you have to check professional reviews on the web. But I think you know that.🤗
Hello, and thank you so much for this lovely and helpful comment! Yes, and even reviews on google can only help so far...it's local people such as yourself who feels the pulse of the city that knows best 😉

Yes, even though we know crime happens, it jarring when you are involved or close to the incident.
Seriously!!!
