Wonderful view of the city
Review of Basilique Notre Dame de Fourviere, Lyon by
blackmidnight
Advantages: Great view of the city
Disadvantages: Only get a good view on a clear day
The basillica is located at the top of the hill overlooking Lyon. The building itself is attractive and worth a walk around but the real attraction is the view that is offered. On a clear day it really is lovely and you can see for miles, even getting ...

A citybreak for everyone
Review of Lyon (France) by
leeback
Advantages: getting aroung the city
Disadvantages: too much to see in a weekend
