Lyon is France third city and gastronomic capital. It is known for its historical and architectural landmarks. The peninsula girded by the Rh\u00f4ne and the Sa\u00f4ne is home of beautiful boutiques and amazing restaurants as well as galleries, museums and you name it!<\/p>\n

But what is really nice about Lyon and quite unique is to walk through its hidden passageways called \u00ab\u00a0traboule\u00a0\u00bb, alleys and courtyards.<\/p>\n
