    The river is large and peaceful and I think this is why many locals are more relaxed and calm than their city counterparts in Paris. You can take cruises down the river.

    I thought we were just going to get postcards for my 4 friends who don't yet have e-mail access. However, Luc decided to play tour guide. I had already taken the 50¢ tour of the city 11 years earlier. He wanted me to go to the opera house and revisit the cathedral. I DUG IN LIKE AN ALABAMA TICK (I stubbornly refused) because opera sounds like a banshee in a bear trap and, I thought at that time (almost a year before joining VT) if you've seen one European cathedral, you've seen the lot. I would rather have been stranded in Teheran without my traveler's cheques than to go to either one or both of those places. We crossed the Sâone River on the foot bridge and walked around the shopping district for awhile.

    There's two daily cruise along the historical sides along the river with guide narrating in English/German and French. I wasn't aware that Lyon is such a cultural rich city... I end up stay two more days there exploring it and it really worths it.

    Rhône & Saône Rivers: Lyon's Markets

    • The markets, held most mornings by the river, are really worth a browse. After spending 6 weeks in France, I can honestly say that the eclairs sold at these markets are the very best I'd tried...and I'd tried quite a few :-) Find them at the stand selling all things sweet.

    Plenty of fresh produce is on sale and you may just feel like some fresh fruit after all that delicious but heavy Lyonnaise cuisine!
