Lyon, the capital city in France’s Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, has very visible signs of 2,000 years of history, from the Roman Amphithéâtre des Trois Gaules, to the medieval and Renaissance architecture in the old town, to the modern Confluence district on Presqu'île peninsula. It's an amazing day out.
