    I so enjoyed my visit! I visited the old town district and the magnificent basilca of Notre Dame de fouriere. Dining out was amazing! Such good food!

    Superb museum, particularly enjoyed the artwork and illustrations section but a great selection of cinema memorabilia from a wide range of genres. In addition the miniature artwork is AMAZING. Well worth a visit if in Lyon.

    Very atmospheric; lots of bars and restaurants; very good views.

    It’s a bit tricky to access if you’re staying a bit out of the centre unless you use the metro.

    Such a beautiful garden and has many lovely plants, flowers and bright colorful. Especially, in the sunny day with blue sky.

    We did eat here, a tasty meal that was fantastic value for money but the real joy of the place is all the food on display. Really worth a visit, we bought ½ a kilo of duck fois gras as it is almost unavailable in England. Wish I lived next door!

    At the stupendous Basilique another fabulous bonus is the array of panoramic vistas to be admired. Enhanced by the great afternoon clarity it was marvellous to stop and gaze for a time.

    A vast scene of the marvellous cityscape stretches expansively to the horizons. A bridge spanning the river, the water itself and a collection of some high rise builds all parade in view.

    Fortunately, we had a few days in Lyon is this museum might not have made our itinerary given all the other top things to do in town. But we were able to adjust our schedule, arrive at the open, take a break for lunch, and return for more. This is not a 2 hour walkthrough but rather a solid half a day.

    These ruins have stood the test of time remarkably well, and we enjoyed wandering around & imagining what it would have been like back then.
    There are also great views across Lyon.

    It may be easier to have a guide show you around these passages, though I found it more fun to search for them myself.
    Nice way to see a side of the city that would normally be hidden away.

    We are family with 2 kids over 10 years old. We spent over 4 hrs here. It was really knowledgeable, especially for the kids to learn the Romain empire history.
