Why traveling to Lyon?
On top on being my home town (!), Lyon is one of France’s major cities.
Known as the French capital of gastronomy, Lyon also has historic sites from the Roman period, the Renaissance, a beautiful architecture from 17th century and more modern buildings (don’t miss the Opéra National de Lyon renovated by Jean Nouvel in 1993).
What museums to visit in Lyon?
Here are the top 3 museums you should visit if you spend a few days in Lyon:
– the musée des beaux-arts de Lyon, fine arts museum housed in a former convent of the 17th century, including the Baroque chapelle Saint-Pierre,
