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.
From here, I also had a great view on the city - not just the old centre, but also the rivers, the peninsula, the major squares of the city, and the surrounding areas, too. Unfortunately, it was overcast I could not see the Alps which can be seen on clear days. From the basilica, I took a long walk down, to immerse myself again in the medieval alleys, walk through traboules, discover small traditional shops and ateliers. In the Saint Jean Cathedral, clearly less decorated than the Notre Dame de Fourvière, I admired the huge leaded glass windows, and an intricate old clock telling not just the time, but also the month, astrological signs, and much more. When I finally crossed the river back to the peninsula, I was very pleased with the part of Lyon I had just visited, and found the Lyonnais deservedly proud of their attractve city.
