As tourists queue for overpriced café au lait in Paris, savvy travellers find what locals have always known: Lyon is where France really shows off. Share on Facebook
Fancy a proper French adventure without the Parisian crowds? Lyon's got your back; and your taste buds.
Lyon Sized Servings
This UNESCO World Heritage city serves up medieval charm, Renaissance architecture, and food so good it'll make you question everything you thought you knew about French cuisine.
Nestled between the Rhône and Saône rivers, France's third-largest city is where silk merchants once ruled, where cinema was born, and where even the pickiest French food critics nod in approval.
This isn't just another pretty French city (though it's absolutely gorgeous).
Lyon's got proper street cred: it's been continuously inhabited for over 2,000 years, invented cinema, and produces some of Europe's finest chefs.
The city centre feels refreshingly authentic.
You'll spot more locals than selfie sticks, and the atmosphere buzzes with genuine French life rather than manufactured tourist experiences.
Plus, everything's walkable, the metro's efficient, and you won't need to remortgage your house for a decent meal.
