Lyon
Highly recommended
The Gauls' capital, Lugdunum, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was built on two hills at the confluence of the Rhône River and Saône River. With a history stretching back 20 centuries, the second largest city in France boasts Gallo-Roman ruins, a Renaissance district, Classical-style mansions and silk workers' houses. It also shows off its architectural modernity in the Confluence neighbourhood. Lyon knows how to win people over, thanks to the quality of life it offers, and not least its fine cuisine.
