If it’s your first time going to France, there is one city you cannot miss: Lyon. This sweet little town nestled between the Rhône and Saône rivers has long been known as France’s culinary capital. In fact, it used to be a destination only for foodies. But let me tell you, Lyon offers so much more than just good food! In fact, it is now an epicenter of silk production, gastronomy and commerce. Of course, don’t forget to reserve two days of your holiday to visit Paris. You can easily find a train from Lyon to Paris online, and a trip to France without seeing Paris just can’t be done. However, I recommend using Lyon as a home base. It is more intimate, less packed with tourists, and more affordable.
