Most Beautiful Basilica in France

I don't mean to exaggerate. Also, I haven't seen all the basilica's out there but with extensive travels across Europe and more specifically France. I have willingly and at times half heartedly ticked several churches and basilica's off my list. There are very few that stand out as the Basilica of Notre Dame in Lyon does. The only other stunning instance as such was in Vatican. Firstly the beautiful location on the Furviere hill. You do have a funicular ride to bring you there and back. That simplifies things. The location allows for brilliant views. And it's sort of a complex with another building and and equally impressive crypt. The most eye catching part are the mosaics and paintings that have a surreal effect. There is a chapel next door too. Amongst the list of historical sights I saw, this one ranks number one for Lyon. Highly recommended! #francetrip#lyon #basilica #notredame
