  • Lyon is the third largest city in Lyon and one of my absolute favorites to date. Small enough to manage in a few days, but big enough that there is always more to see and do.

    I live in Lyon and I must say that your video is very complete. I would just add the banks of both the Rhône and the Saône which are very pleasant to take a breath of fresh air within the city itself. And also there is the Parc de la Tête d'Or which is one of the largest urban park in France. It is located on the banks of the Rhône. It is a very popular place.

    Free Roman ruins, $8.00 art museums and reservationless fine dining. Sign me up! And from what I'm finding, they don't seem to charge higher rates for foreigners. God bless the French! They actually have respect for tourists, and see them as equals, unlike many other countries. I'm starting to love this country more and more🇫🇷

    For the traveller from Paris, and that city’s rather monochrome palette of grey to greyer (with splashes of very intermittent colour to relieve the gloom, for Paris knows that it’s a resolutely northern place, and its buildings reflect those often cloudy skies), the first thing that strikes you about Lyon, 250 miles to the south, are the warm colours. Someone described the city’s overall appearance as like a crate of peaches ripening in the sun and this captures it nicely, as the red roofs and sun-bleached, fading stone more than hint of Le Midi, a hop-skip-and-jump down the Rhone Valley (Vienne? Valence? Montelimar?). It’s no accident that Lyon is almost exactly on the same latitude as Milan and Venice, as there is more than a hint of the Italianate in the ochre walls. Lyon is a lovely open city, with significant elevation on one side - reminiscent of Grenoble - looking east over the rivers divided by Presque Ile, across the rest of town. The most charming bit is the oldest bit, as is always the case in most French (and other countries’) cities. I almost gave myself a double hernia trying to romp up Fourviere Hill, but the pain soon eased when I clocked the majestic views from atop. There are also significant Roman ruins up here that are more extensive than I’d expected; a couple of theatres and other sundry bits and bobs. Least said about the Basilica (a sort of Romanesque/Byzantine mess of a mash-up) itself, the better. The reason to be up here are the views. The best church in Lyon is the main cathedral just down the hill. The rest of the time is best spent just aimlessly wandering. The old working-class district of La Croix-Rousse, is a (slightly gentrified) throwback to Lyon’s industrial past; a kind of self-contained village within the city. Place Bellecour, the city’s main square is a big, pompous, unwieldy thing and resembles nothing so much as a military parade ground. You can imagine Napoleon rallying his troops here on his way back from exile, (even if he never did). But minor quibbles aside, Lyon can easily cope with 3 days of your life. I still can’t quite decide if its ‘northern’ or ‘southern’, though; I have always personally marked the start of Le Midi on this side of France at Montelimar, but on a midsummer’s day in Lyon, with the cicadas’ electric buzzing filling the air: this could well be the ‘true’ south. But where oh, where, are the shutters?!

      It was a very walkable city and there are also tons of bike lanes and a great city bike network for grabbing one and getting around.

    The way that you structure these videos is just perfect -- my favorite one about Lyon so far! I'm studying abroad there this summer and then again in the fall so will be spending a total of almost 6 months there and cannot wait. It's great to have ideas of places to visit/things to do beforehand, and as an avid history fan, the types of places that you visited are certainly making it onto my must-see list. Thank you for this!

    I was a receptionist a few years ago in one of the best hotel in the old town of Lyon, and I have to say that your video is an excellent startup guide for tourists!
    It doesn’t show everything but each sight is definitely a must do.
    It is rare to see such a peaceful yet accurate videos about our city 🙏🏻
    If you are here for 2/3 days definitely follow her suggestions, and if you spend more time then please ask your receptionist for cool things to do! We like to talk to strangers despite the fact that we are French 🫠

    I’m really enjoying your France videos. I’ve never been and hope to get there someday. Started taking French lessons in January. Have to say more difficult to learn than Spanish, at least for me.

    • @laura-bronner
      @laura-bronner  Год назад

      I find French to be much harder than Spanish as well! The pronunciation is SO difficult for me. But it's a fun challenge. I'm glad you are enjoying the videos, I hope you can get to France and test out your French skills one day soon!

    It's such a shame there's so much graffiti around. The covered walkways could be a real asset for the city if they cleaned them up and added some plants perhaps made some of the areas small community gardens.
    A lot of zuropean cities seem to have these vast open squarzs. They must be red hot in the summer! They would look lovely with some planting and some trees and that would help to keep the urban temperatures down.

    Hi Laura, thank you so much for this video about Lyon. I am hoping you or someone else here can help me as Ive been defrauded by the founder of a company in Lyon, who has now disappeared. But he and the company remain active in Lyon. The scammers name is Kurt Stephenson, and he may also have involved Delphine Klein and William Stephenson. When I first became aware of the scam, he said he would return my money. But then when I followed up he said he has contacts with police in Lyon, and there was nothing I can do. He then disappeared. Do you have any advice on what I can do? thank you
