A set of pictures around the Sa\u00f4ne and Vieux Lyon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"LyonStPaul\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The church of St. Paul [45 45 59 N, 4 49 36 E]<\/p>\n

\"LyonVeloV\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the V\u00e9lo’v<\/a> stations scattered around the city centre. V\u00e9lo’v is an urban bike rental scheme started in 2005 which has proved popular and a similar scheme has recently been started in Paris (the ultimate flattery in France).<\/p>\n

\"LyonFourvriere\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Fourvi\u00e8re basilica<\/a> [45 45 45 N, 4 49 20 E], built 1872-1884 in honour of the Virgin Mary in thanks for Lyon being spared invasion by the Prussians in 1870. The interior is ”ornate” to say the least, and a strong contrast to the plain St. Jean cathedral at the foot of the hill.<\/p>\n

\"LyonTransmitter\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fourvi\u00e8re radio transmitter. Constructing it as a mini version of the Eiffel tower seems an odd choice!<\/p>\n

\"LyonAmpitheatre\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Partially restored Roman ampitheatre [45 45 35 N, 4 49 11 E]<\/p>\n

\"LyonPasserelle\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Passerelle (foot-bridge) Saint Georges (Sa\u00f4ne) at night [45 45 25 N, 4 49 37 E].<\/p>\n

\"LyoSoaneNight\"<\/a><\/p>\n

View across the Sa\u00f4ne towards the cathedral and the basilica.<\/p>\n

\"LyonRhone3\"<\/a>\"LyonIsleBarbe2\"<\/a>\"LyonIsleBarbe\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Views around the beautiful Ile Barbe – a tiny island in the middle of the Sa\u00f4ne to the north of the city centre.<\/p>\n

Lyon airport<\/a> \u2013 Lyon-Saint Exup\u00e9ry<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"LyonSatolas\"<\/a> \"LyonSatolas2\"<\/a> \"LyonSatolasTGV3\"<\/a>\"LyonSatolasTGV2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Exterior and interior views of the attached TGV<\/a> station [45 43 16 N, 5 4 34 E].<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
