Airport Car Rental
Located in the southeastern part of the country, Lyon is one of the most interesting cities in France. A history spanning over two millennia, impressive architecture, and delicious cuisine are some of Lyon’s main draws, and so is the easy access it offers to the French Alps. With that in mind, these are three of the most interesting attractions in and around Lyon:
Lyon Cathedral. Also called St. Jean Cathedral, it is one of the most impressive religious buildings not just in Lyon, but in all of the country. More than 500 years old, this Gothic masterpiece took exactly three centuries to finish, but the effort was clearly worth it. Part of the cathedral complex is an archaeological garden dedicated to the even older churches that used to be located in the same area but have not survived to the present day.
Museums. Lyon is home to a plethora of high-quality museums — it is second only to Paris in this aspect in all of France. Highlights include the Gallo-Roman Museum (located next to the city’s two Roman theaters), Museum of Religious Art, International Puppet Museum, and many art museums and galleries.
Annecy. Sometimes called the Venice of Savoy, Annecy is one of the most charming towns in this part of France. Famous for its many canals, it also boasts an impressive castle, a well-preserved medieval town center, and the Museum of Animated Film (Annecy is the location of one of the most prestigious animation festivals in the world). The trip from Lyon takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes.
