Lyon
France's silk capital
Lyon is a major city in southeastern France, located at the confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers.
It is France's third-largest city and historically significant for silk production, banking, and cuisine—often called the gastronomic capital of France.
We spent a week in Lyon exploring the old town.
