Lyon - Best Things to See and Do
Lyon is the third largest city in France and is the capital of the region of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. Let's take a look at the best things to see and do in Lyon.
Lyon once was the capital of the Gauls at the time of the Roman Empire and its prosperity as a seat of importance is still evident today.
