Trip to Lyon, France 🇫🇷

It was a trip to Lyon, France 🇫🇷 We started our day early ⛅️ and made our way up to Fourvière Hill, one of the best viewpoints in Lyon. As the sun rose, it cast a golden light ✨ over the city, making it the perfect time for breathtaking photos. From up here, we captured the iconic red rooftops of Vieux Lyon, the Saône River, and the modern skyline beyond. We also explored Basilique Notre-Dame de Fourvière, a masterpiece of architecture that looks stunning in the soft morning light ✨ If you’re looking for that postcard-perfect shot of Lyon, this is the place 🙌 📍8 Pl. de Fourvière, 69005 Lyon, France After soaking in the views, we wandered down to Vieux Lyon, the city’s historic old town. The best time to explore is in the morning before the crowds arrive ☀️ We took pictures in the narrow cobblestone streets, with colorful Renaissance buildings as our backdrop. A must-visit is the Traboules, hidden passageways that are a photographer’s dream 🙌 Every corner of this neighborhood feels like a step back in time, making it one of our favorite spots 💯 📍31 Rue du Bœuf, 69005 Lyon, France We then made our way to Place des Jacobins, one of the most beautiful squares in Lyon. The elegant fountain at the center, surrounded by classic Parisian-style buildings, makes for a fantastic photo spot 📸 We grabbed lunch at a nearby café ☕️ enjoying the lively atmosphere while capturing the beauty of the square. If you visit around midday, the natural light enhances the details of the fountain and surrounding architecture🙌 📍Pl. des Jacobins, 69002 Lyon, France We also explored Presqu’île, Lyon’s central district, which is full of grand architecture and vibrant streets. We stopped by Place Bellecour, one of the largest squares in Europe, where we took pictures with the famous statue of Louis XIV 💯 The wide-open space allowed us to capture the city’s grandeur, and if you look towards Fourvière Hill, you get a stunning background 📸 📍Pl. Bellecour, 69002 Lyon, France We then went to Pont Bonaparte, a bridge connecting Vieux Lyon to Presqu’île. At night 🌙 the city lights reflect beautifully on the river, and the illuminated Fourvière Basilica stands majestically on the hill. This is the perfect spot for night photography and a great way to wrap up your visit to Lyon 😍 📍Pont Bonaparte, 69002 Lyon, France This itinerary will give you a mix of history, scenic views, and the best photo opportunities in Lyon 🙌🙌🙌 #europetrip #vacation #travel
