(Translated by Google) First encounter with the Jouvenal chocolate shop/pastry shop. We first tried the cake. A chocolate cake encased in a vanilla cream. A wonderful combination of flavors. Not too sweet, just how we like pastries. A quality chocolate that's too rarely found in pastry shops. The price seemed very high considering the size of the cake. Then we tried a chocolate and orange peel marmalade cake, with combinations that reminded me of a cake from the chocolatier Bochard when he worked in pastry shops. We were rather disappointed with our experience. The cake is very sweet. The biscuit on the top of the cake doesn't add much in terms of texture. The chocolate part is very good. So why 3 stars... and not 4 or 5, because at this price point, I think I've found something very tasty. We'll be back because we have no doubt about this business's commitment to delighting us. (Original) Première rencontre avec la chocolaterie / pâtisserie Jouvenal. Nous avons tout d’abord testé le cake. Un cake au chocolat qui enferme un crémeux de vanille. Un très bel accord de goûts. Pas trop sucré comme on aime les pâtisseries. Un chocolat de qualité comme on en trouve trop rarement en pâtisserie. Le prix me semble très élevé au regard de la taille du cake. Puis nous avons testé un gâteau chocolat et marmelade d’écorces d’orange, sur des accords qui m’ont fait penser à un gâteau du chocolatier Bochard du temps où il œuvrait en pâtisserie. Plutôt très déçu de notre expérience. Le gâteau est très sucré. Le biscuit de la partie supérieure du gâteau n’apporte pas grand chose du point de vue texture. La partie chocolatée est très bonne. Alors pourquoi 3*… et pas 4 ou 5, parce qu’à ce niveau de prix j’estime trouver quelque chose de très bon gustativement. On reviendra car on ne doute pas de l’engagement de ce commerce à vouloir nous régaler.

(Translated by Google) Excellent quality pastries. The only downside is the price. I know they do everything to favor local and organic products, but when I see the price of the bomb and the fact that it gets smaller every year... (Original) Pâtisserie d'excellente qualité. Le seul bémol, c'est le prix. Je sais qu'ils font tout pour privilégier le local et le bio, mais quand je vois le prix de la bombe et le fait qu'elle rapetisse d'année en année…

(Translated by Google) The chocolate is delicious! The welcome was very pleasant, the saleswoman even gave us a box and a frozen bottle of water because we were coming from far away and it was very hot, thanks to that we were able to bring these delicacies home 😋 (Original) Le chocolat est délicieux !

Vienne Ancient Roman Theatre

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Historical landmark
Concerts & Shows
Vienne Ancient Roman Theatre is a well-preserved stone-built theater dating back to around 40 AD, making it one of the largest in Roman Gaul. With a seating capacity of 13,000 spectators, it hosts live music and dance performances during the summer. The theater remained hidden until its rediscovery in 1908. Visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the city from this ancient site and even catch a jazz concert. Climbing to the top offers both a great workout and stunning vistas.
The place itself is really magical. Was there for a concert and honestly sunset and music in this scenery was just perfect. Not to mention the obvious top notch sound quality even far up. Everything was easily accessible and the organisers really did a good job of allocating the space. Loved every second of the show 😻

Fantastique venue for jazz festival "Jazz a Vienne". Superb location and acoustics, logistics are great with great beers, local food (fries with goat cheese sauce 😍), also great ice creams (chartreuse, banane flambée...), with a very smart setup so that you barely have to wait to get drinks or food. Love it all the way

Roman Temple of Augustus and Livia

Mentioned on 
9 lists 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
The Roman Temple of Augustus and Livia, constructed in 1BC, is a significant part of the city's rich historical heritage. It stands alongside other ancient monuments such as the Theatre Antique and the Garden of Cybele with its Gallo-Roman archaeological remains. The city also showcases medieval architecture, including the Saint-Andre-le-Bas Church and the Saint-Maurice Cathedral.
Very well preserved (and rebuilt) remnant of Roman times. Large temple building with pillars, and an interior area which you may be able to visit (if gate is unlocked). No charge.
Doug N — Google review
Just a 25-minute train ride south of Lyon, the Temple of Augustus and Livia stands as one of France’s most remarkably preserved Roman monuments. Erected between 20 and 10 BCE, this Corinthian-style temple was dedicated to Emperor Augustus and his wife Livia, embodying the grandeur of Roman architecture in the provinces .  Positioned at the heart of Vienne’s ancient forum, the temple features a hexastyle façade with six fluted columns and an elevated podium, reminiscent of the renowned Maison Carrée in Nîmes . Its survival through the ages is attributed to its conversion into a Christian church during the 5th century, later serving various roles including a courthouse and library, before restoration efforts in the 19th century reinstated its classical Roman appearance .
Wisanu T — Google review
When in Vienne… do as the Romans did! 🏛️ The Temple of Augustus & Livia is over 2,000 years old and still looking gorgeous. From imperial worship to medieval church to Revolutionary theatre – this place has seen it all. And the best part? You can wander up for free and feel like you’ve stepped straight into ancient Rome (minus the toga). Pro tip: swing by at sunset – the golden light on those Corinthian columns is unreal!

One of those places that if you’re really into history would be really cool, but if you aren’t you look at it and think “Hey, that’s a cool building!”, take a photo of it, and walk away. Decent way to spend ~5 minutes. Of course, if you’re into this history it is captivating.

An amazing Roman temple situated in a small square in an otherwise unoteworthy French town. Its very simplicity makes it even grander.

History Museums
Musée et sites archéologiques de Saint-Romain-en-Gal in Département du Rhône offers a rich archaeological heritage, showcasing Ancient Roman life. The museum consists of an indoor exhibition and an outdoor excavation site. The indoor exhibition features a comprehensive audio guide providing insights into Ancient Vienne, along with large mosaics. On the other hand, the outdoor area allows visitors to explore extensive excavated ruins, offering a glimpse into the lives of wealthy Romans.
Lovely museum with great mosaics plus extensive outdoor ruins. Nice staff. A manageable size to see in 1-2 hours. Audio guides in English available and included in the modest ticket price.

Lots of interesting artifacts in the museum and interesting ruins in the surrounding grounds. Probably allow 2-3 hrs minimum but could easily have spent longer. Free audio guide covered inside and out. Helpful staff. Toilets and at least in the 2 outside 'picnic points' the was free drinking water

Overall a nice museum with especially interesting floor mosaics that are in very good shape. A big collection of tools for day to day usage in Roman households. There's free english audio guides but not English written explanations (only French). The outside ruins are less interesting.

A total wow!! The French really know how to honor the past. Beautifully laid out with superb explanations plus a free audio guide. It is staggering to learn the museum was built on the remains of a Roman city. Thank you Vienne for preserving this ancient treasure (s).
Maggie B — Google review
There are 2 elements to this museum: (1) The indoor exhibition, (2) Outdoor excavation site. (1) Do pick up the audio guide it provides a vastly comprehensive story of the exhibition and paints the story of Ancient Vienne. Do not forget to go up the stairs to see the large mosaic! (2) A very vast excavated area with plenty to see! With a little imagination the lives and living of the wealthy Romans really comes to life here. Overall a fantastic Museum, 11/10 would recommend! Estimated time needed: 3-4hrs (With audio guide)
Joel L — Google review
Excellent outdoor site and inside museum. Especially appreciated the live water features. If you love Roman mosaics, this is your place. Two suggestions. One, they should tell you the audiogiude covers both inside and outside. Also, a locker would be better than their checkin system. Closed toed shoes for outside better.
S. K — Google review
Two part museum, one traditional inside part and then the actual ruins outside the museum. The inside part is housed in a modern spacious building, many beautiful mosaics but not so many other items. Many of the signs are in French only which is a bit of a shame (says the English spoken 😉). There is an optional audioguide though. The outside part was my favourite - fantastic feeling to walk along the old roads and think about the similarities between then and now. Many of the signs where a bit weathered and not the easiest to read though, but again an audioguide is available - but I prefer to have my hands free and rather read then listen. Plenty of staff and security people on the site - almost to many... but all friendly and helpful. Well worth a visit

Animal shelter
Wildlife park keeping primates, from chimps to gorillas, plus big cats, birds & reptiles.
A wonderful day spent at the ZOO. Lots of exotic animals, some of which you can even walk among - birds. As you can see, part of the park will be expanded and the area will increase. The animals have very nicely decorated habitats with enough space. Inside the garden there is a snack bar and a souvenir shop. Very well stocked. Definitely an unforgettable day with pleasant memories.
Tadej B — Google review
I have mixed feelings about zoos, I went because my company organized a visit. First time in my life I've been in the presence of a gorilla, no more than a few meters away. First time I've seen a gorilla eating fruits and.... yogurt? This gorilla was being hand fed by the owner of this zoo, Mr. Pierre, he was feeding her inside her room it was fascinating to see. First time I've seen a lion run firsthand, and very upclose. And last but not least, first time I've heard a group of 10+ chimpanzees quarreling, calling out and "screaming". This zoo gave me a sense of humbleness and some sort of primal fear I've never felt before. It made me realize how majestic and imposing these animals can be, yet how beautiful they are too. I liked the back story too. I hope they are truly living up to their mission. I'm still thinking about what I saw.

Samantha E — Google review
What a great zoo. Never seen so many active animals at a zoo before. The tigers and lions were magnificent and playing with each other rather than just sleeping or pacing. Good close up viewing with all the animals. Also it's obvious that the zoo is expanding their enclosure space so it'll be interesting to see what it looks like the next time we return. Well worth the entrance fee and we will definitely return when we are in this area.
Paul H — Google review
Good zoo close by Lyon. The zoo offers some great species of animals, but I think the price is too high. You can spend a couple of hours here, but the park is small and completed within 2 hours. We missed a bunch of animals, despite taking the time to spend extra time in the park after finishing the route. We missed the coatis, servals, binturongs, dingos and some more. Very poor habitats for some animals and some animals did not seem to have any space, like the ocelots. We did really enjoy seeing the snow leopards and the arctic wolves. The park smells bad in a lot of places and the hygiene in the toilets is just bad. For such a price we expected clean toilets somewhere, but it was very poorly maintained. Parking is free. €18,50 is too much in this case, but it’s not a total waste. Hopefully it is being used for future wellbeing of the animals.

Beautiful clean zoo, animals are well looked after, very reasonably priced... Great day out
Joanne S — Google review
Conservation focused zoo with quite a lot of interesting primate exhibits (amongst a lot of other types of animals). Big enough that you can spend a few hours here but also not so big that it has to take up your entire day. The zoo is positioned up a hill so there is some elevation change during your walk through but the park is entirely accessible (wheelchairs of course, but that means also strollers too Mamas… even enough room through entrances and pathways for huge American double strollers). And the layout of the enclosures up the hill allows for really good viewing of the animals in their enclosures.

The Village Outlet

Outlet mall
Shopping
"The Village Outlet" is a shopper's haven located just 30 minutes from Lyon, France. It offers a wide range of fashion, sports, design, and cosmetic brands at discounted prices. The outlet features ample parking and various dining options. Visitors recommend arriving in the morning to avoid crowds and enjoy a convenient shopping experience. Additionally, it provides interactive maps and seating areas for convenience.
We had a great day at the Village Outlet, easily 7-8 hours. There's a comprehensive variety of shops, with many of the key brands (both on the middle and higher end), so there's something for everyone. Outlet prices are rather compelling at most shops. A good tip would be to shortlist items first and make an entire round across all shops before making an informed purchase, to ensure you've gotten the best deal possible across all stores. It's a short 1.4km walk to and from the train station, which is more predictable. Do note that the train towards Lyon city centre is hourly, so time your departure from the outlet accordingly.

The prices are not the best, can find cheaper prices at Printemp with the sales! The service is good, mid range items. But I find the place poorly designed, poor wifi coverage and data doesn’t have signal inside the shops. Can’t find the reception for tax refund. Not tourist friendly. Mainly French crowd. Would I come back? Maybe. With better signage. They should consider hourly shuttle from the train station to make it more accessible. A notch lower than the other established outlets in Europe. If only prices can be cheaper by 10-20%, then it would be worth it.

Great outlet, one of the best I have been to so far. It’s pretty small for an outlet but had a lot of good options for winter clothes and ski clothes in particular. They have an interactive map stands and a lot of places to seat. There is a big food court as well. Commute form Lyon is not super convenient (it’s a 20 mins walk from the station if you don’t have a car) but it’s expected for an outlet

This opinion is dedicated to the reception only, and implies only my own point of view. The woman receptionist (the oldest one) is very rude. She is supposed to represent the whole mall center but she doesn’t have any skills in communication and quality of service. Her way of speaking to customers is very direct, before even introducing your question, she does find problems and say things like «  ah non non non on ne fait pas ça ici » /«  no no no we don’t do that here ». She is not helpful nor nice to people. She really needs to be trained in serving customers or find another job that fits her. We come often to The Village but going through the detax service is a real pain… she is very hasty, I really can’t understand why she is at the reception desk

Surprised at first by the small size of the park but subsequently reassured by meeting people passionate about this era, we were guided from start to finish. Workshops are planned throughout and everyone is involved to the delight of the children. We are immersed in this era from the start with very interesting explanations for children and adults.

(Translated by Google) Very nice family experience to immerse yourself in the 13th century. Arrive early to take advantage of all the workshops which follow one another and last 30 minutes and 60 minutes each. Not suitable for children who are too small because the explanations and the duration of the workshops can be a little long. Remember to bring water and a picnic. (Original) Très belle expérience en famille pour se replonger au 13ème siècle. Bien arrivez dès le début pour profiter de l'ensemble des ateliers qui se suivent et qui durent en 30 min et 60 min chacun.

(Translated by Google) A very pleasant afternoon during which we were able to discover several periods of the Middle Ages in a fun way. Everyone can benefit from it because young and old see it from a different angle. The fights and exercises or stagings, although impressive, are certainly not of the same level as other parks (e.g. Puy Du Fou) but I don't think that is the will of the teams. We were in the presence of enthusiasts who like to talk and share their passion and all in a site that is well designed for the occasion. The price is very reasonable for the time spent! In short, we will come back without hesitation! (Original) Un après midi fort sympathique au cours duquel nous avons pu découvrir de façon ludique plusieurs époque du moyen âge. Tout le monde peut y trouver son compte car petits et grands voient cela sous un angle différent. Les combats et exercices ou mises en scènes, bien qu'impressionnants, ne sont certes pas du même niveau que d'autres parcs (exemple Puy Du Fou) mais je ne pense pas que cela soit la volonté des équipes. Nous avons été en présence de passionnés qui aiment parler et partager leur passion et le tout dans un site qui bien aménagé pour l'occasion. Le tarif est très correct pour le temps passé ! Bref nous reviendrons sans hésitation !

Musée des Confluences

Museum
Specialty Museums
The Musée des Confluences, located in Lyon, is a striking modern museum that opened in December 2014. It boasts a futuristic architectural design and is situated at the confluence of the Rhone and Saone rivers. The museum features both permanent and temporary exhibitions that delve into anthropology, natural science, and human history. Its iconic structure resembles a transparent crystal cloud made of stainless steel and glass.
Really nice museum! The building itself is impressive and easy to navigate, so you don’t feel lost while walking around. Exhibits are well organised, interactive, and fun — I especially liked the audio parts and the buttons to press. The themes are diverse, from Darwin’s evolution to marine biology and astronomy, so there’s something for everyone. Most of the info is in French and English (though some videos are only French). The architecture is stunning, and the view from the 4th floor is a nice bonus. Definitely worth a visit!

When I visited it was a free admission day. The museum is impressive, good quality exemplars , exhibition are for every age. On the roof they have a nice cafe and you can enjoy the view from the top.

This might be one of the best modern museums I went to, really! It's very complete and I think kids would love it- there were a lot of enthusiastic ones when we went, at least. Their permanent expositions are very well detailed and easy to navigate, they're mostly about natural history, anthropology and culture, not much art history, or at least I didn't find one. Everything has french and english explications. On the entrance to each permanent exposition, there was a guide who would give a general feel of the pieces, and they could speak English too! Their temporary expositions were interesting and very well done, we went to the Amazon and the dreams ones, both very interesting. We didn't have to pay extra for these. They had elevators for all stages, and there were a lot of audio explanations too. On the terrace there was a lovely - albeit a bit expensive - cafe, with nice views. If you're not hungry, the terrace is included on the ticket price anyway, so you should go at least for the view. A must see in Lyon, for sure!

Amazing exhibitions. This was my second time here and it felt like the first. Thoughtfully arranged and curated museum perfect for all ages. The current Zombies exhibition is one of a kind.
Zsolt B — Google review
Interesting permanent and temporary exhibitions with lots of interactive elements - especially liked the Species wing of the permanent exhibits. Ticket price was reasonable (12 Euros) and the 4th floor outside terrace views are worth the price of admission! Oh yeah, and it has the most innovative shape for a museum!

Théâtre Gallo Romain

Amphitheater
Sights & Landmarks
Théâtre Gallo Romain, also known as the Gallo-Roman theatre, is a significant historical site in Lyon that offers a glimpse into the city's ancient Roman past. The ruins of two Roman theaters are now used for open-air concerts and festivals, providing visitors with a unique cultural experience.
This place is really cool. It’s free and easy to find. It is one of the cooler Roman ruins because it is still being used today. It was fun watching people enjoy it like a park. Would highly recommend visiting then heading over to the museum!
Daniel H — Google review
Amazing ruins to check out within a close walk from the Cathedral nearby. Unfortunately, we did not have the time to explore the inside of the museum, and since we were heading to Rome it seemed appropriate to postpone anthing Roman to our later trips. The ruins themselves however, still are able to immerse you in history and come alive as you walk through them.
Minh N — Google review
A place to marvel, was for the community back then, still is now (so I heard). Will be wonderful to be part of activities here, but even just a quick stop on the way back from the Basilica already gave me glimpses of stories this awesome place has. Basking in the morning sun, this open air theater sure is special. Do visit the museum if you have the chance.
Milka C — Google review
Very easy to get to using the funicular which was about 2 EURO, one stop from the town cathedral. The ruins are open for people to just wander around and take photos, there is a museum that I did not go into. From there it's a short walk trip the basilica and the amazing views from there. You can also walk from there back to the old town which includes a very long and steep staircase.
Wing C — Google review
Walking through the theatre feels like stepping back in time, with its impressive stone seating, partially intact stage, and gentle slopes inviting exploratio. The site is remarkably well preserved, allowing visitors to walk freely among the ruins and soak up the atmosphere where audiences once gathered for performances nearly two thousand years ago.
Muhammad F — Google review
This was a very happy but unexpected discovery. There are many information points explaining what each space used to be, and this is supported by images of the buildings -this is certainly helpful because you’re only seeing stones! A must when visiting Lyon!

The Ampitheatre was still in good condition considering how old it is. There are a lot of modern overlays here as the space is used for events etc. I think it would be an amazing venue. Go to the museum which tells the story of how Lyon was founded by the Romans. The Ampitheatre is so out in the open and there is no shade so be careful on hot days. You can look at the Ampitheatre for free but the museum has an entry fee.

Musée Cinéma et Miniature

Mentioned on

Museum
Specialty Museums
Nestled in the historic heart of Lyon, the Musée Cinéma et Miniature is a treasure trove for film enthusiasts and miniature art lovers alike. Set within a beautifully restored 17th-century building, this museum showcases an impressive array of hyper-realistic miniature scenes that transport visitors into the world of cinema.
This museum was very well laid out. We enjoyed the smaller exhibition rooms which were usually themed in some way. We absolutely loved the Wes Anderson exhibit and would definitely recommend visiting if you enjoy his movies. I'm personally not into a lot of movies which definitely took away from the experience. However, if I were into them I can guarantee this is an amazing place to visit. Just fair warning to anyone like me that this might not be the perfect place for you. The miniature exhibits were excellent, we were in awe at how detailed some of the pieces were!
Katelyn — Google review
Really enjoyed my visit here - so many interesting exhibits and things to see. I think the best part is the fact that the films referenced and the props from the films are films that are very well-known, not just random French films. Would highly recommend to people as an activity in Lyon, however my one small issue was that we bought tickets in advance but still had to line up in the same queue as everyone else, so buying a ticket in advance was fairly pointless, only decreased the price slightly. But other than that really loved it.
Peter C — Google review
AMAZING! I think should be a must do when you visit Lyon with kids or just if you like movies and a different type of art. They have created incredible mini and real size scenes from movies and normal life things! A different way to know history as well! We went without tickets and ending paying less because they have a family packet. If you are 2 adults and one or more kids, it is definitely cheaper.
Angelica B — Google review
Worth visiting. You should go and see everything they placed in the museum. At first we enjoyed the props & artifacts from famous movies. However what we liked most is the miniature room, carefully detailed and amazinggg
Phuc N — Google review
Incredible and unique museum. They have some really cool pieces from films, which are still interesting to look at even if you haven’t seen them. The miniature section was a good surprise also—they are so detailed and realistic! While it is a bit on the more expensive side, it’s worth it and it is an independent business.
Evie F — Google review
Walking through this museum felt like stepping straight back into my childhood (I was born in the mid-80s), and it was nothing short of magical. From Star Wars to Batman 1989, from Aliens to Beetlejuice, the collection is packed with iconic treasures that instantly spark memories of the films that defined an era. According to one of the staff, the Darth Vader mask here is the only original one on public display today, that alone is worth the visit! What sets this place apart is how personal it feels. I love the great art museums of France, but this was different, so much more relatable. Every piece triggered a wave of nostalgia, reminding me of movies I adored and had nearly forgotten, and reigniting the sense of wonder that first made me fall in love with cinema. These films came from the golden age of moviemaking, where practical effects and early CGI blended to create timeless magic that today’s movies rarely capture. Seven floors are filled with cinematic history, and while you can see it all in about 1–2 hours, it’s the kind of place where you’ll want to linger at your favorites. For me, highlights included the Darth Vader helmet, the full Batman 1989 suit and vehicles, the wonderfully complete Beetlejuice exhibit, and the jaw-dropping animatronic Alien that makes you feel like you’re right on set. Seeing Thor’s hammer (Mjolnir), Iron Man’s glove, and nods to classics like Indiana Jones, Mrs. Doubtfire, Jumanji, The Mask, and even Fast & Furious only added to the thrill. If you grew up with movies from the late 80s through the early 2000s, this museum is pure nostalgia wrapped in cinema magic. It’s a time machine back to Saturday nights at the theater or trips to Blockbuster, and it will leave you smiling long after you leave. I can’t recommend it highly enough. As a bonus, all the staff that work there are friendly, knowledgeable and passionate! Update: the top floor which houses the miniatures was closed when we arrived for renovations. If this is important to you, come back when they are completed.
Peter N — Google review
At first I thought it was quite expensive, but it was really worth it! They had original sceneries, props costumes, and of course, the miniatures, which were really amazing to see. Everything was really well indicated, it was easy to navigate, even with our bad french. Some of the items haf indications in English, but not all. All props had access for kids to see, too. It wasn't crowded when we went, it was a Tuesday, so we could enjoy ourselves in our own pace and there was no need to book in advance. Don't miss on the patio outside, which is free and really beautiful as well!

Basilica of Notre Dame of Fourvière

Basilica
Sights & Landmarks
The Basilica of Notre Dame of Fourvière is a 19th-century religious monument in Lyon, France. It features four octagonal towers and houses a museum showcasing religious art. Regular Catholic services are held at the basilica. Visitors can enjoy a romantic evening in Lyon by staying at the Boudoir Spa, which offers luxurious accommodations with amenities such as a Jacuzzi and hammam, providing an ideal setting for special occasions or simply spending quality time together.
You can see the Basilica from almost everywhere in the Lyon old town but it is well worth heading up to see it up close. Take the funicular (walking back down is nice) to get there. The Basilica is in such lovely condition. The murals look amazing and there is a real sense of peacefulness. Make sure you take the time to look closely at the murals. My favourite was the one depicting Joan of Arc. We went on a Saturday morning and it wasn't too busy. We didn't have to wait to go in. It is free to visit. There is a lovely courtyard next to the Basilica where you get some amazing views over Lyon.
Craig C — Google review
The Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière is one of Lyon’s most iconic landmarks, visible from almost anywhere in the city. Personally, I usually find the interiors of Orthodox churches more spiritual, but this basilica’s interior really amazed me — it’s beautiful and inspiring. The exterior is just as impressive, and the panoramic view over Lyon from the top is fantastic. You can get there easily by tram, or hike up if you prefer (which I’d also recommend). Nearby, the Roman Theatre and archaeological site are free to visit and very well preserved. Both the basilica and the ruins are definitely worth seeing.

Arriving late evening in Lyon, our Uber driver took us here on a quick detour to our hotel ‘because it is so very beautiful, and you guys can see view of Lyon skyline from there’. Indeed it was a beautiful Basilica, majestic even in the dark of night. Indeed it was an impressive view of Lyon. Very grateful of him, blessed his soul. I got the chance to go back the next morning, and although did not got the chance to go inside, my appreciation grew even more about the opportunity to visit. A must go when you are in Lyon. If your hotel is not nearby, they have tram from the city center that stops directly in front.

Beautifully located on top of a hill, and Best to take an Uber to get there. There is also a vista point on the side of the church with great views of the whole city. If you can walk down the hill, you can visit a nice museum with an outdoor Greek theatre. You can also take a short cut and walk the stairs down the hill

It is a marvelous place to visit even when you are not Christian. The interior of the basilica Notre-Dame of Fourvière in Lyon, is tremendously high. The walls are astonishing and it drops your mouth down to the floor. I have not taken many pictures inside because my eyes were focused on all the tiny details in each stunning things my eyes would lay eyes on. If one thing to visit in Lyon, it clearly is there and Paul Bocuse Market^^.

What a beautiful basilica one has the pleasure to see, adore and to participate because during our vist a mass was held. The church has an endless history to show, not only in the holy Christian sense but also in its rich architectural designs. A real treat to be there.

In my quest to find the best macaron in Lyon I systematically tried a macaron at each shop in the food hall. Sève’s were by far the best, with my favourites being 1) Caramel 2) Coconut 3) Coffee. I must’ve gone back 3-4 times in one day. They are quite expensive, which meant I could only afford to try 8, but this is reflected in the quality. The staff were lovely and very accommodating of my terrible French. Merci!

The pastries are so pretty, it feels almost guilty to eat them. Nonetheless, I ate them. I ordered the chocolate mousse one and I was thinking of getting more but it's so rich that I was very full at the end. I'd like to go back and more of the pastries. There were dozens and dozens!

This is a nice indoor market. It has quite different atmosphere to la boqueria market in Barcelona. Both of them are great place to see and eat. But, this market has unique features like quiet and less crowded. Local fruits, cured meat , and seafood were excellent. My wife and I enjoyed cured meat and varieties of seafood, oysters, sea urchins, shrimps, and clams. They know how to sell and packages cured meat. One of stores used a vacuum sealed package for cured meat. We felt safe to carry them. All of staffs were friendly and kind. One of members even made a luxury restaurant reservation for us. I think that they know good local restaurants because they are the food suppliers.

Pérouges Cité Médiévale is a small medieval town located on a hill east of Lyon, just a 45-minute drive away. The town was rebuilt in the mid-1400s and has been historically significant for trade and defense. Approximately 400 people live within its walls, and there are some tourist-friendly businesses such as restaurants and shops. A two-hour guided tour offers insights into the town's 500-year history.

Pérouges is a beautifully preserved medieval village that feels like stepping into a fairytale. Cobbled streets, stone houses, ivy-covered facades — every corner is photogenic and full of charm. It’s not big, but that’s part of its beauty: you can wander slowly, take in the atmosphere, and imagine what life was like centuries ago. There are lovely artisan shops, small cafés, and a few restaurants where you can enjoy local specialties — especially the famous galette de Pérouges, which is absolutely worth tasting warm with a bit of sugar caramelized on top. It’s peaceful, authentic, and only a short drive from Lyon — perfect for a half-day or slow afternoon escape. Go early or late in the day if you want to avoid crowds and enjoy the serenity of the place. Highly recommended for anyone who loves history, quiet beauty, and timeless villages.

When we arrived there we asked if we could go up - they have set the tower up as a mini museum with about 4 floors before you reach the rooftop.

Bird Park Villars les Dombes is a paradise for bird lovers, featuring a vast collection of birds, including rare species. The park offers demonstrations and preservation programs, making it an excellent destination for families and nature enthusiasts. Visitors can enjoy observing various water birds such as storks, herons, and egrets in the region's network of rainwater pools dating back to the 13th century.
Excellent day at the bird park. I was there for the second time and all the family found some interesting things to do including kids. The new area dedicated to Africa is really well presented. Another good point is that there are a lot of places to make a picnic and playgrounds for children. I also recommend the observation tower to have a good overview of the park. Finally, the bird show in the afternoon is a must see.

Maarten V — Google review
Generally a beautiful park, very green and nicely designed when it comes down to aesthetics and topics. Parking was easy and well managed. Loads of staff trying to fill the parking lot in a way that makes sense, friendly and clear in their expressions. As with any park, there is a lot of walking involved and especially for small kids you'll need to be prepared to bring a pushchair. The toilets were absolutely yucky. I was only in the men's toilets, but it smells of wee everywhere, you're literally walking in it, the whole floor is covered in it. I know men can be yuk but some of those toilet I really wouldn't be surprised if they haven't been cleaned in a while or are leaking. I have never seen so much dodgy liquid on the floor. It really reeked. Some toilets have massive queues, not just the ladies', also the men's toilets. What surprised me though is, that our friends' daughters tried to get to the ladies and were trying to find a free cubical and three (!!!) ladies were so rude and pushed them out of the way. (which would be another downside, in some toilets you can literally see the cubical doors when you stand on the path). Shops/coffee and food stalls are understaffed. Particularly during high traffic periods. I.e. there was a bird show to begin in the arena and there was a massive (seriously, it was huge) queue trying to get in. There was a food/coffee stall with two windows, only one window was open. One lady was working and the first thing she said was, that she had no coffee as they ran out. When the show ended, the queue at that shop was huge, by then the second shopkeeper didn't make much of a difference. Same with the bbq restaurant we got there just before the lunch storm hit and we already had to wait about 20min to get our order and the queue started just behind the door (so really not long). By the time we finished and walked out, the queue was around the corner alongside the building, who knows how long they had to wait. One till. Having two people using the same cash machine is not really efficient. They'd need at least 3, then the queue started on the pick-up side, because the chicken needed longer cooking times. So all in all not very efficient. Two coffee machines (you get a coin at the till) but one machine had an error message in French (needed maintenance, but was still working), that many people couldn't read nor knew how to get rid of the error message. So people started queue on the other coffee machine. A few other food stalls were closed, it was a hot day, I think about 34°C. Hardly any shade anywhere. So in order to get some drinks, a couple of grown-ups had to walk through half the park to get something for the rest of the group, as we tried to find shade with the little kids. If you are not planning the visit ahead, try to avoid too sunny days. Bird show was OK. A bit disappointing that they have so much staff in that arena but then decide to just play a boring recording and then let the birds fly. Other parks actually talk about the birds and give facts about the specific birds on display, also are interactive with the crowd. Here you just sit down, a tape plays, trainers let the birds fly over your head, then they sit down in the middle of the arena and all birds walk out like in a circus good-bye. Not impressed. The range of animals is quite impressive. And beautiful birds, that seem to be kept in good conditions and clean. Butterfly house, and there was a penguin/fish area, which unfortunately was shut down and we couldn't find access to the Australian area with the kangaroos which our daughters desperately wanted to see. The only path we could find to go there seemed to be closed with a gate but no further information. It's also advisable to follow a set path. Going to see what interest you may be too chaotic and it's easy to get lost in the park. Also walking everything multiple times is suboptimal. Oh one more thing... to get out of the park: ONE (!!!) turnstile. Why they didn't just open the bloody gate is beyond me. We had to QUEUE (!!!) to leave the park. Ridiculous.

Good place to spend the day with the family. Make sure to buy your ticket ahead of time or you may be waiting in line for a long time. They are not very organized. The place is in need of renovations, bathrooms are old, dirty.

Our 3rd visit to this park. We love it. Our kids love it. My folks love it. Always something new to see. Always clean. The birds and other animals seem happy and well cared for. Saw one of the shows this time - for the first time - and it was brilliant. We will be going again on our next trip to the area.

Amusement center
Touroparc Zoo is a great combination of a zoo, water park, and amusement park, making it perfect for families with younger children. The zoo houses various animals such as monkeys, giraffes, elephants, hippos, zebras, birds, and reptiles. The attractions cater to kids up to around 12 years old and include a carousel, train rides, museums, and seasonal water slides. Visitors can also enjoy the monorail and the baby touro river.
Great park, animals well fed and taken care of, did the private visit where we could feed several animals ans it was amazing. Staff was great too.

Great day trip for all especially in July and August when the water park is open. New slides in the pool are excellent for kids under 7 and new games are fun. I highly recommend it.

More for children, not really for the animals We saw a zookeeper use a fire extinguisher on monkeys from the side to keep them appart We had to pay for the waterpark too, eventhough we did not want to use it. It was all in the price and no other options were available, it was misleading. But he parking is free.

I visited Touroparc Zoo a couple of weeks ago to celebrate my birthday, and I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! What made this experience so special was how hands-on it was. Unlike other soigneur experiences where you barely get to interact with the animals, Christophe made sure we were involved and engaged the whole way through. You can tell he genuinely cares for the all the reptiles and takes great pride in sharing that with others. We had the chance to see so many incredible species up close, and he gave us a fascinating look into what it’s really like to work behind the scenes at a zoo. Thank you, Christophe, for making my birthday so memorable. Your enthusiasm made the visit come alive! Highly recommend this experience to anyone, whether you're an animal lover or just curious. Truly a 10/10!
Ahaeli C — Google review
Very! nice park but absolutely ridiculous how weird they are about the height in the attractions, when accompanied by an adult. I was not allowed to drive the horses attraction with my baby who really got to love this attraction in Parc le pal. We stood 15 minutes in the burning sun. When it was our turn he pointed at the sign saying my baby should be 90cm. At Parc le pal we did this attraction multiple times without an issue. This ruined the moment. All other safe attractions you can do as parent with your kid, is not allowed, really frustrating. The wild water attraction or the mono rail are allowed :/ Please check your height restrictions... Everything else is really nice, but above gave everything a bad taste.

We visited on a cooler weekday in September and the place was very quiet which was perfect for us to see all the animals It's clear the animals are well cared for and healthy The rides and water park looked good but they were not available this late in the season

The VIP and Soigneur experiences are totally worth it. We have done the VIP visit twice and the both times was super amazing. Highly recommended. We chose to do the Soigneur experience in the reptile house and we're extremely happy with our choice. It was very very interactive and we learned so many interesting facts from Christoph. Thanks so much for the amazing experience with Curu, the snakes, lizards, iguana, crocodiles, and turtles!

Very beautiful monastery with a rich history, unsurprising given how old Europe is. And this one has been well maintained, even hosting music and arts shows outside of just the walk around tour of the monastery itself. Obvious ongoing upkeep and restoration work is happening which is great given that this monastery is close to 500 years old. Doesn't look a day over 300. 🤪

A beautiful historical place where to spend a pleasant and interesting couple of hours.

Spent a wonderful afternoon there!

Outside this is an amazing "step back in time" into farmhouse architecture and farm living of the period in the l'Ain/Bresse region. Within the museum there are some fascinating insights into the clothes worn for formal and informal events as well as various implements used within the home and on the farm. We will return as we only had a couple of hours available and we didn't have enough time to see everything.
Shaun M — Google review
A nice day trip from geneva to be told about the country life of the farmers in Bresse breeding their famous chickens. The museum is located in the country site and has a large old farmhouse and supporting buildings from the 16th age. The competent guide highlights and comments upon the historical architectural construction elements that were used. Such as the large open air chimney, the large wooden beams, and the way the walls were constructed in the past. It is quite interesting and a nice place to walk around and get an impression of the living conditions. It has also an interesting museum in one of its buildings with older household objects and about construction materials.

Rock of Solutré is a towering limestone rock that offers sweeping views of the surrounding area. The hike to the top takes about 30 minutes and is popular among visitors. The trail provides fantastic views of Fuisse and the Solutre Rock, as well as vineyards along the way. It's a relatively easy walk from the parking area, making it suitable for families with children. Additionally, there is a museum nearby to complement the experience.

Popular hike it seems, quite a lot of people did the walk to the top which has a very nice view over the area. It took us +-30mins, for 1.7km. You can start at one of the (free) parkings, there should be enough place. We did the descent via Combe Robat til the town of Vergisson. Finally through the vineyards back to the parking. You can follow the yellow marks. This direction is very quiet and more fun. Our daughters of 8 and 11 joined us, and in total we walked 6km.

Abbey

Nestled in the charming town of Cluny, the Abbaye de Cluny stands as a testament to medieval architecture and history. This grand Benedictine monastery boasts impressive ruins, including a majestic bell tower and serene cloisters that invite exploration. While there are no dining facilities on-site, nearby restaurants offer delightful options for a meal after your visit. For those keen on enhancing their experience, audio guides are available for rent—just remember to bring your own earphones for convenience!
We visited with group. I overheard our group head talked to receptionist and found that we can come for free (I think there is certain condition people who can come for free). So please check before you buy a ticket. The monastery is huge. Located in old town. For renting audio, it costs €3 If you have single jack for earphone, bring it! It’s easier to hear the audio and you don’t need to hold the audio like you are in the middle of calling someone :)) Unfortunately in many area there is no information at all.

Paul V — Google review
Used to be the center of Christendom. Mostly ruins, but still lots there to see. Amazing digital recreations of the Abbey. Never really understood that until the 1400's this was the largest cathedral in Christendom - much bigger than St. Peters of that day. A combination of religious politics and the reformation in France changed all that. Much of the Abbaye was destroyed during the reformation. The digital exhibit expertly guides you through the transformation of the Abbaye over time.

This beautiful little town has a lot to offer if you're cruising through the back roads of Burgundy, and the Abbey is a spectacular way to spend the day if you enjoy history and ancient buildings. Besides the ruins and restorations, there are 3D films and models to dazzle you. Don't skimp on adding the Tour des Fromages toi your visit (spoiler alert - it's nothing to do with cheese). Don't be put off by the declaration of how many steps there are to climb, the view is worth it.
David H — Google review
It is unfortunate that a majority of the place was dismantled and sold off. The place is in a constant state of renovation. There was a nice film explaining the history and the audio guide helped walk us through what was left on the place. Stepping outside and seeing where the footings are represented on the ground shows the shadow of the size of the Abby at one time. So little is left that I don’t know if the money to learn about it is worth it.

Really impressive chateau that is in good condition. Beautiful garden with a nice view of the chateau. The guided tour is interesting, but be aware that they only do a French tour.

The tour guide however is very nice and can explain in English if you ask!

Abbaye Saint-Philibert de Tournus is a medieval Romanesque church known for its stunning stone vaults, numerous statues, mosaics, and stained-glass windows. The abbey has a rich history dating back to the 6th century when a church was first built on the site of a former Roman army camp. It gained prominence in 875 when the remains of Saint Philibert were interred here.
Impressive medieval structure with some wonderful discoveries inside. The ancient stone walls, interesting windows and the crypt all convey the time of construction. In the crypt are some columns that are Roman in origin from a temple predating the abbey.

This church and Abbey is one of the best preserved in France. It is surrounded by it's own walls and gates which gives it an impression of a fotres. Already in the 6th century a church was built here in a place where there used to be a Roman castrum or army camp. The Abbey got a boost in 875 when the remains of Saint Philibert were put to rest in this church and gave it it's name. The church is sober on the interior but has some interesting mosaics behind the main altar. At the entrance is a small exhibition. The Abbey has a nice central courtyard

Not too crowded. Amazing architecture. Interesting, beautiful town that is not too touristy (at least in January, when I visited). Great, inexpensive lunch at the restaurant just outside (to the south of) the main entrance. If you like old buildings or Romanesque architecture, you should not miss Tournus.

The rooms are very well thought out with almost every step being unique to each room. The staff will gently guide you if required in order to keep the pace of the game fun. They won't let you win for free though you still need to think! Once you've included the intro and the photo at the end it's a great way to spent 2 hours.

Chalon Cathedral is a fascinating blend of architectural styles, with its Neo-Gothic facade and two newer towers from the 1800s alongside elements dating back to the 1000s. The cathedral is located in a lovely square with cafes and a charming fountain nearby. It's part of the cathedral close of Saint Vincent, which includes the Bishops Palace, cloister, and cannons houses. Despite needing some renovation in parts, it remains a popular site for both locals and tourists.

The cathedral was built between 1092 and 1220 as a Roman style church but gothic additions were made later in the 16th century. The interior was rather dark but at some places they have built sensors that switch on lights when you get near. In front of the church is a lively square with restaurants

Just surprisingly beuatifull. 1000 year old cathedral. Beautiful location with Lovely square just by the cathedral with tables and chairs and cafes.Nice fountain too.Lovely architecture and great for photos. The cathedral close of Saint Vincent, seat of the former bishopric of Chalon-sur-Saone, is made up the the Bishop’s Palace, cathedral, cloister and cannon’s houses. Construction of the cathedral started in 1090 in the Romanesque style, but today is characterised by its Gothic elevation and neo-Gothic facade. The simple layout of the cathedral is composed of three naves, a chevet without ambulatory and side chapels. Come and discover the collection of Romanesque capitals, the Brussels tapestry dating from 1510 and a 16th century stained glass window. For the visually handicapped there is a tactile model available. Today, the St Vincent’s Cathedral cloister is the only canons cloister conserved in Burgundy and Franche-Comte. Its exterior walls probably date from around 1000, which makes it even more exceptional. Three wings with trilobe arched bays dating from the 14th century and ribbed vaults from the 15th century. The north wing is a contemporary reconstruction of the gallery that disappeared in the 19th century. In the spirit of the mediaeval and existing 19th century capitals, it was decorated with sculptures on the capitals in Saint-Marc stone (Burgundy limestone) made by the sculptor Laetitia de Bazelaire, representing animals, the virtues or the 5 senses. Accessible to people with reduced mobility.

Theme Parks
Located in Le Creusot, Burgundy, France, the Parc des Combes is a family-friendly theme park offering a variety of attractions for all ages. One of its main highlights is a steam train that travels throughout the park, providing stunning views of bridges, gorges, and waterfalls.
Super lovely theme park for the younger kids. Went on a weekend but not crowded at all, barely any queues. Only downside is limited food options (just a pizza kiosk and a snack stand).

This amusement park is understaffed overall. I was appalled by the fact that one staff is managing two different rides at the same time, which leads to a more waiting time and potential risks for accidents. Above all, we wasted a total of 1.5 hours for getting a lunch at the restaurant near the entrance. They closed the other restaurant, so all people concentrated only on the remaining restaurant. On average, two tables were served every 30 minutes even though there were three staff in the kitchen. If they are overwhelmed with pouring customers, they should at least inform them of such delay. This experience ruins our plan and family moments

The rides are fine BUT the experienced we had in the snack "le gare des combes" was the WORST ever. Staffs are slow and inefficient. My husband ordered tacos and it was served to him frozen. The chopped steak taste like carton. The fact that they sell it expensive I just find it not honest to serve it to people.

This is a lovely little theme park for young and old. Taking the train from le creusot station up to the park is a great way to start the day. The park itself doesn't have many rides but the queues are short of any at all, even on weekends. Kids and adults love it here and the prices are reasonable.

Excellent park for kids untill 16years of age. You can buy day/family tickets or just come in and enjoy your kids playing. No play, no pay.
