On the Train to Lyon!

Last week we took a (Last minute of course!) trip to the spectacular City of Lyon. Beth and Connor absolutely loved the train. (The TGV, which travels at 300km per hour.)



We took the Funicular up to the Notre Dame Basilica. Absolutely the most breathtakingly beautiful Church I have ever seen. Entirely dedicated to Our Lady.

View of Lyon from the Basilica.




Wandering across Bonaparte bridge. You can do a self-guided tour from this spot just by turning around in a circle.


This is what Connor does while Beth pops into the shops.


The kids take their first ever ride on a subway.

This is us renting bikes. The best way to get around Lyon. Until you can't find a spot to return them...

At the world-famous Lyon zoo park. We rode our bikes right in!





If you look closely, that's Beth and Connor on their bikes. Terribly photo as I was taking it whilst riding - then crashed into that big tree right after!



On the train back to Montpellier.
