FRANCE - Lyon
France's third city and gastronomic capital is known for its historical and architectural landmarks.
There's more to Lyon than the opulent facade would suggest. Beyond the pricey boutiques and restaurants of the Presqu'île (the peninsula), girded by the Rhône and the Saône, this is a city of secret passageways, hidden alleys and courtyards tucked away behind sumptuous hôtel particulier fronts.
