    The Basilica in Lyon is really worth a visit, best way is via the Fenicula railway.

    The position of this historical Basilica is very imposing and dominates the area....stunning views right across Lyon to the Alps.

    The architecture and freezes are both large, bold, colourful and full of history.

    Situated on the Place des Terreaux, the original structure dates from the 17th c. Several fires led to a new facade mid-19th c. Its grand scale eclises the nearby Musee des Beaux Arts. It can be toured.

    Very interesting for French speaking(like I am). Needs audio handsets to make the experience more attractive for others. Kids would find it boring.

    This is located up a hill and has pretty nice views but other than that nothing special. Just another roman ruin. Visit if time permits.

    This can be found in one of the traboules in the old Lyon. There are apartments with the traboule so br respectful with noise. No charge.

    Visited without knowing quite what to expect. It was raining cats and dogs outside, so I thought "why not?". Plus, with the Lyon City Card, it was completely free.

    Overall, I found it to be well organised, with an interesting way of presenting information, but probably more for the kiddies rather than adults.
