Le Tour de Lyon


Sundays in France are one of the most boring and ridiculous days of the week. Everything is closed including department stores, Carrefour, and even the frequency of public transport decreases on Sundays...incredible. Therefore, the best way to pass a Sundy in France is to have a little Tour of the city. The Fourviere Hill is the most touristic places in Lyon, and is home to the Basilique de Fourviere, the little Eiffel Tower, and the Theatre Romaine de Fourviere.

An exceptional picture of the Cathedral courtesy of Monsieur KIM.

To clarify, the Tour Eiffel you see here is just a fancy replica of the one in Paris. This is actually a radio tower or something on the Fourviere Hill.

Last but not least, the spectacular view of la ville de Lyon. The tallest building here is the Radisson Hotel right in the middle of the picture which is about a 30 floor building . Pretty shocking to see the lack of high-rise buildings in this city.
