Lyon 13 July


Off to an early start today with a 6:00am wake-up call. Bags had to be out by 6:45, breakfast at 7:00 then boarding the bus at 7:45. It was a long drive to Lyon. We stopped for a morning tea break at 10:00 then continued on stopping for lunch around 12:30pm.

More driving saw us arrive in Lyon at 3:30 for a guided tour of old Lyon town & St Peter’s Basilique. The mosaics on the walls were amazing.

 
We continued our sightseeing tour into little hidden lanes that opened onto courtyards that were used by the French Resistance.
