LYON
Lyon in an old city built in the era of the Galeaus.Moreover, there are still Roman remains that you can visit. A long time ago, it was called "Lugdunum" and it was only habitations on the hill. Now in this hill, there is the most rich neighbourhood.
(Croix Rousse, Vassieux..)
Lyon is the third famous city in France. It's an amazing city with many things to do, many festivals; like in December the 8th, Marie's celebration(or the Lights festival) . This event attracts people from everywhere, that is why in the street it is difficult to advance at this date..
Lyon is composed of 9 districts( Vaise, Mermoz...) and much suburbs all around the city (like Caluire, Rillieux, Sathonay Camp, Decines...) and in the middle of the town, two rivers meet( Rhone and Saone).
Lots of things in Lyon are famous so it attracts a lot of people in the world. For instance Fourviére' Basilica, The Peninsula(Barbe isle) , Museums, Park of the "Gold-Head", squares Bellecour & Terreaux, stadium Gerland and so on.
There also many place to go shopping, in the center commercial of La Part-dieu for example or at Republic' street. In this city live a famous chef : Paul Bocuse who has 4 restaurants in the four corners of Lyon.
In short, Lyon is an attractive city, moving around and all the time in the center.So, if you want go on,you will not regret it !
I really love this city of variety.
