Lyon Activities

Besides its status as the third largest city in France, Lyon also stands as a highly important business center. Furthermore, it enjoys a delightful reputation as national gastronomic capital that attracts world-wide tourists over 2000 years, offering to its visitors a dazzling variety of entertainment, according to any preferences they may have.

One of the activities mostly enjoyed by the so known Homo turistus is shopping, and there’s no doubt about it when in Lyon. Auspiciously, Lyon has it all given the ample high-class commercial districts spread all over the city. For instance, the Carré d`Or (gathering more than 70 famous brands), situated on the pedestrian area between Place Bellecour and Cordeliers. If interested and looking for antiquities, works of art or any interior decorations, the Auguste Compte district is not to be missed!
