Campanile Lyon Centre Forum Part-Dieu, Lyon

Lyon- France's alternative city break.

Advantages: Wonderful city
Disadvantages: Pollution

it is a 50 minute journey. Accommodation Lyon like any other major city offers a wide range of hotels at different prices. I personally stayed at the very reasonable and very nice Campanile Part-Dieu. This hotel was ideal. The rooms came with en suite bathroom and cable TV. The rooms were clean and the hotel itself modern and very well looked after. The best thing of all about the hotel though was its situation. Part-Dieu is one of the main areas in Lyon. Firstly, it is home to a large SNCF railway station that links Lyon with the rest of France. Secondly, and most significantly for anyone on holiday, the 'Centre Commercial' is here. This is a massive shopping centre with over 260 shops and spanning 4 floors; one of the largest shopping centres in Europe with all big name shops and some really nice places to eat. If you ...

Review of Lyon (France)

Lyons Battenberg Cake

Advantages: tastes great
Disadvantages: high in sugar

Lyons Battenberg Cake This has been on special offer recently in Tesco's and since the offer has been on I have been able to eat single handed 4 whole cakes.

The fact that this cake is so sweet really satisfies me as I have a very bad case of sweet toothitis. The Battenberg Cake is made up of a super soft sponge centre that is in two different colours and four separate squares of colour giving the cake a chequered look. The two colours are a gorgeous pink and a light yellow shade. The whole sponge centre is wrapped around the outside with a good thick layer of marzipan ...

Review of Lyons Battenberg Cake

If you like coffee, you'll loathe these Lyons coffee bags

Advantages: Convenient and an excellent idea
Disadvantages: Revolting coffee!

out much hope of one bag being adequate for my taste. I wasn't disappointed! One bag of Lyons coffee brewed for 5 minutes, produced a weak, dark brown, odd looking brew. I tried the coffee as it was and the first sip was quite disgusting! I could have been drinking hot water with a granule or two of instant coffee dissolved into it. It was truly undrinkable, so I poured it away and started again, this time using two coffee bags. This time I left the drink to brew for a full 7 minutes. I removed the bags and tried my second attempt at coffee bag coffee. First the aroma..... Mmmm...and what aroma might that be? My coffee certainly didn't have any! Then the appearance.... The colour was very much better, more like the deep, dark coffee I usually enjoy. Now onto the all important part of the review, the taste of the coffee ...
