Lyon Travel Forum

Hi! I´ll be at Lyon for businees during 4 days and after that I will have more 3 days to travel around. Could anybody give me some advices about nice places near Lyon or in the way to Germany. Thanks in advance! Vini ( Brazil )

If you take the train to Augsburg, Strasbourg is a nice town. Also nice, but not direct on the way is Beaune.

You have already plenty of suggestions. I will only add one or two near Lyon (if you have a car).

Pérouges, 20 km east to Lyon is an amazing middle ages little city worth the visit. Look at http://www.perouges.org/

A little gem that is out of Lyon but reachable by bus (number 40 or 70) is the ancient cars museum in Rochetaillée. Look at http://www.musee-malartre.com/

Hi!
you can also easily take a day in Geneva, only 90 minutes driving away, or in the french alps (Chamonix is 2 hours drive), but obviously, this will be very related to weather conditions;
if you miss the sun, then head to the south; nice villages are located south, between Valence and Avignon, only 2 hours away, and usually sunny when it is cold in Lyon.
dunno if you are flying or driving to Ausburg (Munich airport) will be the closest; if driving, you can stop on yiour way in Burgundy 5beaune is fine as said before), and also Dijon and Colmar, or through Switzerland
enjoy your stay!
