Take your Lyon hire car and see the historical and architectural highlights the city has to offer such as the Statue of Louis XIV or on Fourviere Hill, the Roman Theatre.

Sample some morning snacks, another of Lyon's famous traits. Machons, made from local charcuterie, which are followed by a glass of Beaujolais are a perfect way to start your day.
