Lyon

Lyon is the third largest of France’s cities and leaves visitors with numerous choices. The nightlife and shopping are legendary, but those who prefer quieter moments exploring a town’s cultural heritage won’t be disappointed. Dating back to Roman times, with a little help from 19th century silk weavers, the traboules at Vieux Lyon are a network of passageways and stairwells running through residential areas. Take a look around to find hidden courtyards, Italian archways and cobbled paths. Silk weaving is a major part of Lyon's heritage. You can learn about the workers lives at Maison des Canuts, or take a workshop tour at Atelier de Passementerie. Over at the Musée des Beaux-Arts visitors can grab a free audio guide before setting off to find timeless pieces by Monet, Matisse, Rubens and Picasso, then stop at its excellent cafe for refreshments. At night, head over to Péristyle, a free music venue where guests can still get drinks delivered to their table. Check it out in summer, where jazz, funk and blues is played under the building's dramatic arches.
