🇫🇷 FR.6 Is Lyon Worth Visiting?

"A quiet French city with endless Little Prince merch—but does it impress?" 🤴✨ 🚄 Quick Stopover Verdict ✅ Pros: Easy 2h TGV from Paris (fancy Gare de Lyon station). Cozy vibe—clean, chill streets. Cute Little Prince souvenirs (the real star!). ❌ Cons: "Just okay" sights (no wow factor). Gelato disaster (70 flavors... but black sesame? 🤢). 🍽️ Food & Exploration 1️⃣ Lunch with a Local 👴 Le Bouchon des Cordeliers: Lyonnaise cuisine (beef stew = meh, desserts = 👍). 2️⃣ Hike to Fourvière Basilica ⛪ (Bad idea!) Lost + sweaty (thanks, Google Maps!). Views = nice, church = pretty but confusing (free entry). 3️⃣ Roman Theatres 🏟️ Still in use for festivals—cool! 4️⃣ Hôtel de Ville ⛲ Fountain selfies = mandatory. 💡 Tips for Next Time Take the funicular (Vieux Lyon station)—not the stairs! 🚞 Skip weird gelato flavors (stick to vanilla). 🌍 Next Stop: Annecy! "Spoiler: It’s way prettier than Lyon." 🏞️ #LyonOrSkip #FranceTravel #TheLittlePrince #SoloTravel
