Lyon

Located 105 km from the campsite, the capital of Gaul is full of places of interest, monuments, parks and gardens. This city of more than 2,000 years of history has a rich architectural and historical heritage. The Basilica of Notre Dame de Fouvière on the Gallo-Roman site houses the amphitheatres that were once used for various shows.

In terms of architecture, we can mention the Saint Jean cathedral with its astronomical clock, the atypical district of old Lyon with its small streets, its squares and majestic fountains
Lyon is also the capital of gastronomy with its famous bouchons lyonnais.

It is also a romantic destination, and why not take a boat ride on the Saône or discover the Parc de la tête d’Or with its famous rose garden.

Explore Lyon by discovering the traboules : these are secret passages through buildings and allow to link 2 streets in a discreet way.
