OVERVIEW
Situated on the banks of the Rhone, Lyon is France's second most populated city and home to Interpol's headquarters.
You can access the city by air, the Lyon-Saint-Exupery International Airport receives several transatlantic flights as well as flights from various European destinations; by car; by train, with the high-speed TGV train; or by bus, from many European cities, including Paris and Geneva.
Lying beneath the hill of Fourviere, Lyon's old city is a labyrinth of narrow streets and traboule (passages) leading to the pedestrianised rue St-Jean. Some of the city's attractions are the Cathedrale St-Jean; the funicular station and the Vieux Lyon metro; the Roman remains, were you can find two excavated theatres as well as the Musee Gallo-Romain et Parc Archeologique de Fourviere; the 16th century Hotel Paterin; and the Basilique de Fourviere. Some of the museums include the Musee dArt Contemporain, the Musee Historique de Lyon and the Musee de la Marionnette (puppet dolls).
In Parc de la Tete d'Or, visitors can find ponds, rose gardens, botanical gardens and a small zoo.
The winters are cold with temperatures down to -5C, while summers are hot with temperatures up to 30C.
