Lovely little well known chocolate shop. Has a great reputation in the area. The cakes, chocolates and other goodies are delicious and the Ice creams are great too! Lots of other activities are available if you intend to become a chocolatier.

Excellent

Ok

(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) A superb and attentive welcome with original and desirable products... a detour that was worth it and a delighted wife this morning. (Original) Un accueil superbe et attentionné des produits originaux et qui font envie… un détour qui valait le coup et une épouse ravie ce matin.

(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 ! L'accueil très agréable, la vendeuse nous a même donné un carton et une bouteille d'eau congelé car on venait de loin et il faisait très chaud, grâce à ça on a pu ramener ces délices jusqu'à chez nous 😋

Great Jazz Festival 2025. Went to see Parov Stellar. A little hot due to the heat wave - take water and a hat.

Ale to see Avenged Sevenfold. Probs the best organised outdoor arena in France. Queue moved along with no hassle. Security did a banging job and the Lyonnaise sausage hot dog was delicious. Good beer too. What’s not to love.

Very interesting Roman theatre with great views from the top out over Vienne. Only €3 entry fee & well worth the visit.

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

Beautiful area, short lines to get food and drinks, epic acoustics.

Very historic site we viewed from above at the Pipet. It is well worth a visit as it is not expensive. The stage is used for world renowned Vienne Jazz festival at the end June every year

Great amphitheatre, most of the terracing has been rebuilt in 1920's to give people an understanding of how great it was. Well worth a visit. Still used today for concerts.

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).

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)

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.

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

Excellent museum. Outside portion well organized. Inside, many fascinating mosaics

Very nice and big outlet shopping place, about 40 minutes from Lyon center by train , they have many good brands, coffee shops and restaurants, the prices are very reasonable..it does worth a visit.

Outlet Mall 40 Min from Lyon center Nice mall open area Parking free available Many brand in average price Also restaurants is available

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

nice place, enough shops, diverse shops, clean

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

Amazing shopping mall! Overpriced and impractical. My young adult daughter only found one store with somewhat reasonably-priced clothing. The fountain show with music was beautiful and the mall is clean and gorgeous.

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.

Amazing place to visit. It’s recommended for all the family. Great views and animals are treated in an excellent way

Very nice zoo! The zoo was larger than I expected and had a nice range of animals. I really enjoyed seeing the Sun Bears and all of the monkeys.

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.

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

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.

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 is by far the best museum I have been to. The exhibition, the design and the presentation are very modern and easy to digest. Plan plenty of time. We spent almost 5 hours here and it was not enough.

If you’ve ever wanted to touch both a meteorite AND a fossil without getting kicked out of a museum, this is your chance. Don’t hesitate. A brilliant museum all around: science, history, culture & more. There’s something for everyone.

very intresting and informative visit. All the exbits well explained in French and English. the building itself is cool. Do go to the 4th floor and admire the views. They had a information set on my name and saint i was named after

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.

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!

The service was excellent, but unfortunately, the chocolates were too sweet for my taste.

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.

Even if you are not a gourmand, I totally recommend this place if you want to have a true Lyonnais experience. The food smells and tastes excellent and the cakes and cookies are amazing.

So many choice- and none of them are wrong! Had fresh oysters- and when I say fresh I mean that they tasted as if plucked out of the ocean! Served with a friendly smile and quick service. 10 out of 10 will be going back!

Must visit.. Big Like, some seafood restaurants need a reservation, good prices.. Has everything 😍

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It was free! Spectacular. Museum €7 per adult well worth a visit. Tells the srory of Lyon...many artifacts from times past. What an amazing thing to have on your city

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

fantastic experience! is very interesting and fun, perfect for people who loves cinema! staff is very friendly and they speak english very well so its perfect for tourists. there is a toilette in every floor, and also a dog bowl! i enjoyed it a lot!!

As someone also work behind the magic, visiting this musuem is like a dream, from costume to props, set to figures… You can’t miss this, this is prob is the best musuem I’ve seen about cinema, movies. The visit was like a dream come true, from my fav movie Mary Poppins from 1964, to Jurassic world, kill bill to Beetlejuice, alien to Spider-Man! Last the not least, the Wes Anderson section, with some movie items and making off?! Seriously I’m so glad I come to Lyon for this!

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

Lovely place to visit in Lyon. Get a day ticket for € 6.90 and couple of trains later you are there. Beautiful views of the city (sunset as well). Basilica is amazing. Don't compare it with Vatican however it is grand in its own way.

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.

Until you take your breath away, what an impressive basilica it is. A great architectural construction. It is definitely worth a visit. And to pray in peace. May St. Mary be vigilant.

This place is great. I love history. Thus, I liked the place and atmosphere.

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.

A lovely stone middle age town, nice for taking a walk but became a bit commercial.

It was quite an interesting tour of this great medieval city before Christmas time. The restaurants and cafes were all decorated for Christmas, and we tried mulled wine in one of the places. At this time of year the city is not so crowded with visitors.

Very interesting place, with a 3-4 restaurants which are full around lunch time, but you can have pancakes with ham or Nutella on the street. It's a beautiful Medieval town, especially during the Autumn because of the colours of the falling leaves.

I could not get enough of this beautiful historic place. I was. Awe around each corner I walked. Simply beautiful. Bring you best pair of waking shoes and a lot of space on your phone to take pictures.

This place is very beautiful and has not a lot visitors. One day trip would be far enough to enjoy entirely of this village. I stayed one night (Wed) and there is no restaurant opening for dinner.

Visited the village but no one establishment. It was very quiet, but one could see the charm. Colleagues on the tour enjoyed coffee and cake. Worth a look for an insight into old France.

A nice medieval village in a wine producing area. Proud and beautiful with its golden yellow stones and a very beautiful church high up.

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. The stairs are very steep (beware) but the view from the top is well worth it. Accessing the tower costs a mere €2 per person (they take card payment) and is free for children.

Beautiful village. Clean, flowers everywhere, the locals work collectively to take care of the village. The Church is beautiful, the view is stunning. Really worth visiting!

The most beautiful village of Beaujolais🍷Rhône with its typical golden stones

Well preserved medieval village in the Pierre D'Orrees (Golden Stones) area of Beuajolais. Unfortunately we arrived at lunchtime in November and most of the artist community shops were closed! Very pretty village with fabulous views.

Absolutely stunning place!! Loved how small and so adorable!!

We enjoyed our visit to the monastery and the museum. Beautiful site.

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. The architecture is impressive, the place is big and there is plenty of things to see: the church, the various rooms, the ancient tools used for the building, some historical facts etc... there was also a room with an art exhibition. Spent a wonderful afternoon there!

This place is breathtaking. The outside is beautiful and the inside is just amazing. Definitely worth the price of admission. Plan to allow yourself at least a few hours to enjoy and take in all the art, artifacts, and architecture this place has to offer.

Found by accident as we heading Northwards. Lucky the light show was on just as we took an evening stroll.Nice music also

Well maintained monastery and church with a very interesting history. The church hosts the graves of Philibert II., his mother and his wife Margaret of Austria, which are great pieces of art from Flamish sculpturers.

Stunning cathedral with a very unique roof displaying the colours of the Duchess of Burgundy built between 1506 and 1532. The monastery is behind the church.

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.

interesting museum about the Bresse region and the French gastronomy. It’s just 5 minutes walk from the rest stop on the highway. There’s a picnic area perfect for a lunch break.

Interesting set up to see how people used to live back in the days. Cute bresse chicken running around the shed, very friendly staff!

Super. Parking

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

Beautiful Building, well worth seeing the main church and surroundings. The building has a special feel to it, as you enter the nave (main part of the church)

Hate crashes a wedding and saw the place for free. To be mosaic in the ambulatory is excellent

Worth a visit for sure.

One of the most amazing churches I have been to, and I have been to hundreds or thousands of them. Beautifully restored, but not too much changed from its original state. Wonderful natural light. 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.

Spectacular 5 star ⭐️

A great market for the locals and for visteurs from miles around. If you're driving through on a Monday, you must stop

Been twice now and done the photo theme and pirate theme rooms. We will definitely be back for the 3rd room and are pleased to know there will be a 4th one coming soon. 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. The newest room is actually a 90 min time limit.

Great experience! The rooms are extremely well decorated and the enigmas are all very well thought.

Super!

Super moment!

(Translated by Google) We tested the "The Samurai Mask" room with 3 people and what a wonderful surprise! This room is one of my favorite escape games. The puzzles were extremely varied and well-crafted. The story is captivating and the game master is very friendly. We will definitely return to try the other rooms. Thank you for this great time. (Original) On a testé la salle "Le masque du samouraï" à 3 et quelle superbe surprise ! Cette salle rentre directement dans mes escape games favoris. Les énigmes étaient hyper variées et bien ficelées. L'histoire est prenante et le game master très sympathique. On retournera pour sûr tester les autres salles. Merci pour ce chouette moment.

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

Nice and climstic cathedral, although it needs a general renovation in certain parts.

Popular site for locals and tourists. Located in old part of Chalon and near businesses selling clothes, etc. Review Google in your choice of languages before visiting. The open space in front of the cathedrale is usually filled with tables and large umbrellas, which makes for ugly photos.

The real highlight for me was the cloisters behind the cathedral. You have to exit the cathedral and turn left to visit them.

Very nice

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.

Great architecture, a must see in Chalon.

The rooms are beautiful. Lots of classic old works, a few modern works, so not very impressive for me. Admission is free, so it's worth seeing the architecture. Beware, there's a trap on the first floor, you'll never get out without asking... we weren't the only ones. Fortunately, the lovely security staff are there to help.

We were greeted by very friendly staff who explained the museum's layout. This museum is large, entry is free, and there are several floors of exhibits to see. The grounds around the museum are picturesque as well. Enjoy!

A free art museum! It was a treat, of course. I'm not an expert, but I think their collection was very good, based mostly on the Duc's collection. Don't miss the Duc and Duchess's tombs! Everything was in french and it wasn't very crowded, even on a Saturday and even with people fleeing from the rain, like we were.

The Best Things in Life Are Free Well, that’s certainly true for the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Dijon. I first discovered it a few years ago while tracking works by Vieira da Silva and Nicolas de Staël—and since then, it has become an almost obligatory stop on the way to or back from the South. Just three hours from Luxembourg, and each visit brings something new. This time, a megalomaniac Chinese painter exhibited right in front of the tombs of the Dukes of Burgundy—a juxtaposition as unexpected as it is striking. And if you’re traveling with children, don’t miss the fantastical animals of Pompon. A place where history, discovery, and wonder are all free of charge.

Incredible museum. Very rich collection and well displayed and organised. Free to hold your bags in lockers and the staff are friendly and professional. Highly recommend visiting here!

The Dijon Museum of Fine Arts is well organised and an example of a must see museum outside of Paris, London, etc. There's everything from beautifully curated medieval art to sculpture to art and photography of the 1900s and 2000s. As a bonus, it's free to enter. Most definitely a not to be missed attraction in Dijon.

Just around the corner from our apartment was the gallery, it was fabulous, great works of art, by all the usual suspects, paintings and sculptures, a good 2 hours will suffice this wonderful painting by Tissot was the icing on the cake

Cool and iconic in Dijon... easy to find. It's nice to find it without Google maps to make it for Cool... just follow the signs on the street floor.

A modern old town, just follow the golden arrows for sightseeing. The shops are neat and orderly. I saw people slipping after the rain because the floor is slippery. It is recommended to wear shoes a good shoes. There is a restaurant that supports Down syndrome. I recommend you try it.

Palm-sized and polished by countless hands, the little owl carved into Notre-Dame’s wall turns a side lane into a ritual. Touch with your left hand and make a wish; the brass pavement plate with the owl logo marks the stop and small arrows carry you along Dijon’s Parcours de la Chouette. This is the route’s namesake and most photographed moment: modest stone, big civic idea. I like how the trail knits small details to major landmarks - marker, brief engagement, onward wayfinding - so one carving speaks to grander sites across the old town.

Super nice tour especially for kids which are keen on discovering the next owl of Dijon on the way. All nice attractions can be seen on this journey.

Great mid evil city with not a lot of tourists. Great wines from around the region, many fine restaurants and a truly great French market place

Loved randomly following footpath markers to discover iconic landmarks in Dijon. You can buy a €4 map from the tourist office and do it in an organized manner or just set yourself a challenge to see how many you can find on your travels.

I like it - brings good luck if you place your right hand on it :) A tip from a local: Once there, make sure to check the rooftop of the building to the right of the owl, you'll find beautiful owl and cat.. keeping an eye on the city ;) (photo below)

Beautiful church with amazing colored windows

Very pretty check the owl on the l’est with your left hand for good luck!

Awesome catholic gothic style church ⛪️

Another handy bicycle sharing station in Dijon just on the same street as Église Notre Dame de Dijon. Not much to write except it's a tribute to this city of Dijon for maintaining this very convenient and efficient transportation alternative. It's pretty easy to use, just follow the instructions on the station's automation machine and all will be a smooth ride around this beautiful city.

Beautiful church in the heart of the old town.

Very nice and full of secrets

Very good, super

Visited at the end of April. The town itself is well worth your time. Meandering local streets filled with centuries old buildings by the river and a walk up to the grotto takes you back to other times. The grotto was an interesting side visit especially since you get in a boat to meander up and down the cave section that has an interesting history both timeless and fascinating. Very quiet tourist wise that time of year so no battle for parking or queues to get in. Kids will love the boat ride in the “dark".

Small cave well presented by the guides. The tour includes a boat trip inside. Not that spectacular though.

Nice tour guide and also nice boat tour. It was fun. I recommend it!!

A beautiful cave in a lovely town that you should definitely explore. The staff is very friendly and all are volunteers. Some speak better English than others, but the information is certainly conveyed.

well organized with friendly enthousiastic volunteers, worth the entry fee. toilet available and drinks for fair prices at the entrance. be aware due too limited capacity of the boats working with time slots and full is full

A nice view of the cave with a great story written around the cave. Very entertaining, cool to sit in a boat in a cave without an engine. Once it falls silent its quite eerie. Didn't know what to expect going in, but exceeded any expectation I had. The town outside and the source of the river are also very picturesque and worth a visit. Sadly not really a place to get a nice lunch when we visited.

Fun short cave trip with unique boat ride. Not a very large cave tour but interesting non the less and nice guides. Also go down to the river down below on 1 minute distance in the village its very beautiful.

A very large cathedral Free to enter and enjoy Parking on street Playground opposite Signs in French and English

Beautiful cathedral with some magnificent tapestries.

Beautiful cathedral! Speechless.

So big, so beautiful!

Nice

(Translated by Google) An architectural gem! A cathedral printer, it's definitely worth the detour to take a look inside! A real joy to enter and walk around on a summer day, inside we can feel the freshness of the imposing stone blocks! The stained glass windows are also very beautiful! I recommend going there (Original) Un joyaux d'architecture ! Une imprimante cathédrale, elle vaut vraiment le détour d'y jeter un œil à l'intérieur ! Un vrai petit bonheur d'y entrer et de se balader à l'intérieur d'un jours d'été, dedans nous pouvons ressentir la fraîcheur des blocs de pierres imposant ! Les vitraux sont aussi très beaux ! Je recommande d'y passer

(Translated by Google) A very impressive cathedral for such a small town. We were pleasantly surprised. The whole town is worth a visit. (Original) Sehr beeindruckende Kathedrale für solch eine kleine Stadt. Waren positiv überrascht. Die ganze Stadt ist einen Besuch wert.

Unfortunately the walkways are closed but it’s still a good thing to see

Definitely worth the detour to admire this viaduct!

Impressive but shame the footpath was closed.

Stopped here today (26/9/23)and the public walkways are still closed. It is an amazing structure and well worth stopping to see and photograph. There is no work going on - there doesn’t appear to be anything structural needed as trains are still crossing. It just needs to have the cleaning finished; most of it is done but some of the stonework is still black. Please finish the work and reopen the walkways for us to be able to really enjoy this incredible viaduct in full.

Really breathtaking site to see, Downside was they closed the passageway for the visitors. I don't know how long it will be closed.

Nice viaduct. Just sadly closed due to renovation.

Visited September 23rd 2018 and the walkway WAS open but there is evidence of ongoing maintenance work so the walkway position is not certain everyday. Well worth a visit though it would benefit from a better path at the 'other side '!

They have made a great program for everyone to have a dynamic couple of hours walking the city of Essoyes and discovering the life of the man and artist. Renoir's House, Gardens, his studio, the cemetery where you can find his grave and that of his wife plus the cultural center where you can watch a short film in English/ French and see the cute exhibition. Very friendly people/youth greeting us as we passed by. All in all, an enjoyable and educational experience for adults and young people. I say just come to this city. You will end up with a bunch of beautiful pictures to remember the visit. Audio guides available. Credit cards accepted. English-speaking staff.

I love visiting this little museum in Essoyes, the foundation that manages the Renoir estate and studio do such a great job. The staff is particularly friendly, speak English (thankfully, still learning French) and they are really nice and helpful. We chose to take along the head-sets and I'm glad we did! The life and times of Renoir is fascinating how this artist saw real life and painted it. I'm so glad he did. One of my absolute favorite painters who also LIVED his life shows in the walking museum through the town. You will learn so much about his first love ART as well as his daily life in this "vacation" or resting spot for him to reflect. Every time I am in Champagne~Ardenne I include this on my itinerary because everyone enjoys it so much. This precious little town too, makes me want to rent an apartment and just walk the streets on a Saturday morning and step back in time.

Terrific village to spend the afternoon with a picnic and a comfortable pair of shoes. The village is very quaint and photogenic. They have many bistros and bars to eat and drink. The Renoir exhibit is very informative and detailed. It is a walking tour that starts in the office of tourism and ends at his grave.

Very beautiful location with the Renoir connection

Small but well thought out and interesting. . Definitely make use of the audio guide to enhance your visit.

Great museum of Renoir family, the world of painting and that of the cinema!

Beautiful! A must visit!

Never visit with a small child. No possibility to change the pampers. If you need to do it, you can not join the group again (!!!!). I must have spent my time in the car at the parking.

(Translated by Google) Visit made by chance and chance does things well! I loved the guide's explanations. The places are surprising and the prison is simply incredible. You won't waste your time coming to visit the abbey. Please note photos are prohibited due to the nearby Clairvaux power station, however a small, well-documented book is available at reception for €8.50 (Original) Visite faite par hasard et le hasard fait bien les choses ! J'ai adoré les explications de la guide. Les lieux sont surprenants et la prison est tout simplement incroyable. Vous ne perdrez pas votre temps en venant visiter l'abbaye.

(Translated by Google) Dynamic guide who shares his knowledge in a way that is very understandable for everyone. The prison history of this place largely takes precedence over the religious history. The buildings are either destroyed or under construction. The history of this place is very interesting but the site is really not worth a look. To see if we are only in the area. (Original) Guide dynamique et qui partage ses connaissances de manière très compréhensible pour tous. L'histoire carcérale de ce lieu prend largement le dessus sur l'histoire religieuse. Les bâtiments sont soit détruits, soit en travaux. L'histoire de ce lieu est très intéressante mais le site ne vaut vraiment pas le coup d’œil. A voir si on est dans le coin seulement.

The grounds are enormous and with some interesting buildings adjacent to the main building which is undergoing some considerable reconstructions. Pity the cafe not open on a Tuesday but a nice place to visit for a couple of hours.

Chateau de Vaux is a beautiful manor in the Southern part of the Aube département. Upon entry (9€ per adult) you receive a map of the castle and a game to find the golden bell. I did not follow the game and only explored the site. The renovations are still ongoing and only the music hall was fully restored on the ground floor. Further the basement might be the most catching to see. The stables were also open. It is a nice place to visit and I am sure it will be eben more interesting when fully renovated. The staff was always very friendly and helpful.

Very friendly reception, beautiful estate.

Not exactly what you would expect to see for 9 euro. Only ground floor open and not much inside, the outbuildings and the court looks ok but again a bit pricey.

Magnifique endroit pour fêtes et mariage. I highly recommend this place for anyone from outside France also who wants to get married or do a big party there. They offer up to 88 sleeping arrangements and receptions for hundreds and hundreds.

It is very much a work in progress, but I enjoyed learning about it and seeing it in its current state. I feel like this will give more appreciation for the finished product, as well as a good opportunity to see the reality of a structure that's that old without proper upkeep.

Quite very well renovated. All the pictures and plans for the past renovation aka things still to be done are on display. Great for a wedding venue.
