The chef here believes in serving good food at prices most people can afford, rather than dazzling with frills. La Tassée serves huge portions of anything from strips of tripe to game to sole. Favorites include quenelles of brochet (pike) with lobster sauce, and sautéed chicken with drizzles of vinegar, served with freshly made pasta. On a recent visit, we arrived just when the Beaujolais nouveau had come in -- a major event. The dining room boasts noteworthy frescoes painted in 1951, when the restaurant opened.
Advantages: It's beauty Disadvantages: The pollution
...for the pleasure of the Roman crouds (esp. Christians).
On the eastern side of the Rhône you will find the more recent neighborhoods of Lyon and also the great Parc de la Tête d'Or with it's zoo and rose garden. The Part-Dieu neighborhood houses one of Europe's largest shopping malls.
There are many museums: the fine arts museum, the contemporary arts museum, the Résistance and Deportation museum (WW2) to name a few.
Food
Lyon is a great place for eating. There are many specialties such as the Andouillette (porc intestins, it's better than it sounds), the quenelles, cochonailles (porc), cervelle de Canuts (sour cheese cream), bugnes (pastry) etc. etc. etc. The city is still perpetuating the tradition of the cullinary arts. You can't miss the bouchons lyonnais: the traditional restaurants.
Studies
There are four universities that welcome many...

Advantages: A LOT OF CURIOSITIES TO DISCOVER Disadvantages: TRAFFIC JAM IN SUMMER
...Who among you, have been stopped at the tunnel of FOURVIERE when you try to cross France FROM North to South or the opposite way.
For many hours, buried in your car, amidst noise, heat and exhausted, thinking “ My GOD may I finish my life here!»
Yes you remember, you stayed in LYON.
Let me give a solution, you can walk round from South to North by BOULEVARD PERIPHERIQUE you cross the RHÖNE river to reach the other tunnel de la CROIX ROUSSE and join the best road.
From North, before the tunnel take exit” VAISE” and drive along the SAONE river and join the highway at PIERRE BENITE.
Everybody waited impatiently for a solution.
The town council has resolved the problem, by a ROCADE.
It’s a little longer but faster.
Yet, LYON, is not only a tunnel, despite the advertisement made for it each time during the major holidays.
The term “Bouchon...

Advantages: History, culture and good food Disadvantages: Industrial backdrop
...Lyon has long suffered being the second largest city in France, continuously having to compete with the illustrious Paris. Be warned, first impressions of Lyon are not to be trusted - the abundance of factories, (the chemical corridor,) the long, intertwined motorways full of traffic and the overbearing greyness of the buildings - give yourself a chance to discover the real heart of this city.
The 'Old Town' lies in the centre of the city, and here you will find winding, narrow streets leading you to a splendid collection of Rennaissance buildings - long since demolished in other parts of France. The landscape is really impressive, for those of you who know Paris, imagine St Germain with the terrain of Montmartre. To the west there is a stunning Gallo-Roman theatre overlooking the Saone, the city also boasts an opera house built in 1831...
