Founded as a Roman colony, Lyon is attractive still now with an old city where you can wander around the alleys for hours in discovery of charming little corners.
When you cross the river, you almost directly come into the maze of small streets and alleys, with little traffic and lots of old houses, cobble stone streets, old shops, and unexpected turns and twists. I decided to just follow my instinct and walk around without a particular idea, and was rewarded quiet little squares, and a jump back in time. From here, I finally decided to walk up, which allowed me a visit to the old Roman amphitheatre and some more remains of Roman times, before heading to the Notre Dame de Fourvière basilica. Quite simple from the outside, this cathedral boasts a richly decorated and very impressive interior, with shining mosaics, leaded glass and many other works of art.
