I made this page in 2008, when I needed to travel to Lyon on business. For various reasons, I had another look in 2026, for a tourist trip.
2026
- Things to do in Lyon from Trip Advisor
- Musée Cinéma & Miniature from Trip Advisor
- Resistance and Deportation History Center inc. records of the Gestapo in Lyon, infamously led by Klaus Barbie
- A Local Sommelier’s Guide to the Best Wine Bars in Lyon at the “culture trip”, and her personal offering, https://www.winedinecaroline.com/home/, and Trip Advisor, on WIne Bars.
Getting there
Train might be best. Allegedly flights from Gatwick, Heathrow and Luton. KLM do it from LCY, with one stop.
Currency
France uses the Euro (EUR). Google now shows a rate directly.
