It is no secret that the French, according to polls, recognized Lyon - the best city for life in France. First, there are really many French here. Secondly, there is a pleasant climate, thirdly, to Paris easy to get in a couple of hours.
I was just a day in Lyon, but I want to return here.
We have been developed with a girlfriend a holiday plan for half a year. She flew from Minsk immediately to Lyon, through Warsaw, and I flew from Kiev to Geneva, and from there by bus to Lyon. The next day, we went to our big French tour. In Lyon, I really wanted to visit. I saw many times at work, as our employees went to Plant Berta, in the vicinity of Lyon, and French colleagues engaged them to Lyon on excursions. The beautiful Cathedral of Notre Dame de Fuviere, conquered me with his non-standard beauty, and his special charm that he does not allow him to confuse with other notes in France. And of course, the legacy of the Sun king, the old part, the city recognized by the historical heritage of UNESCO, is the perfect look at my own kind of rest. And I really wanted to look at the city, which the French consider the best.
There was little time, but I managed much. The city is easily accessible from the station to the center, even late at night. All transport walks like a clock. And I as a real adventurer came to the city half of the o'DEntn night and went to immediately settle in his apartment. He is still a quest, but I coped. Moreover, the student who passed his apartment did not know much, English, and did not know French at all. But we are fine, agreed. In the morning I got up early, in 5, and ran to watch the city. And notre is worth it, it is definitely worth climbing this height. And it is better to do that exactly at 5-6 in the morning, when neither in the church, nor on the observation almost no one! The temple inside is very beautiful, walls, frescoes, vaults, high ceilings. One of the most beautiful temples of France.
You can get to Notra on the funicular, or on foot. There will also be chic views on the whole city. But I had no time for it. By the way, not far from Notra there is also the ruins of the Roman amphitheater. Also a sign historical place. But I did not go there, I was more interested in the area of Belkur, view of Notre and the statue of King Sun. In the rays of the Dawn Sun, the area looks very beautiful. Moreover, it is located in the historic center.
And one more place that you need to visit all gourmets is the pool field market. Here all the best local cheeses are collected here, here they are preparing sea heels, and here you can always drink a bottle of very old French wines. Not to mention freshly prepared patests, salads, the freshest baking. Smells are impossible here. In general, it is impossible to walk on an empty stomach) and again, July is not the most ideal month for visiting, like August. Very hot.
