18th October, 2019 Lyon and the beautiful City then tomorrow Beaujolais Wine Country
/We have enjoyed the morning and the view of the town centre with a slow walk through the City and into the old town. We do intend to take in the many different restaurants and enjoy the interesting history of the city and its eating houses.
We spend some 3-4 hours walking up and down the various main streets around the rivers..We visit the shopping and clothing stores, but we are particular in remaining around the central areas. It is a stunning City in some respects like Bordeaux, but has a larger adminstrative base.
We enjoy the visit to the Cathedral and its spectacular views back over the city.
The weather is threatening. We then drive back to the river areas then across into the central administrative area. The city has an excellent public tramsport system of underground Metro and a wide tram network.
