I booked a roof top tour of the Basilica on the internet – in French ! (I did know)
First up the hill in a funicular – an uphill cable train.
We climbed many steps and heard many words, and was in the bell tower when the bells rang. Everyone jumped and blocked their ears !
It was super with great views. Although the tour was in French, the guide took the time to explain a few things to us. This is not a particularly old basilica and unusual in its bright decoration and the use of iron in construction, for example some of the stairs.
Next – Roman and modern Lyon
