Lyon is a very old city, pre-Roman. We walk through the Roman ruins, free, on our way back to the funicular and down into the old town.
In contrast we took a modern tram to the confluence of the Rhone and Soame rivers where all the modern buildings are happening – remember the green and orange ones ?
The bridge is for trams, bikes and walking – rather pleasant. The shiney building is a rather strange museum. Interesting, but not my scene – the building that is. I went up to high to the cafe and had a fantastic view.
We walked to the actual confluence and dipped toes in both of the rivers.
Next – Another trip to Fourviere Basilica
