3. Hugo & Lyon

A mini-bus and 2 train rides later, we find ourselves catching up with our old Frenchman friend Hugo, whom we met in South America 5 years ago when he & Craig shared a container that shipped their cars from Colon Panama to Cartegena Columbia. Hugo is a Lyon local, and offered to spend the day giving us a tour of the city. He proved to be an excellent guide, we enjoyed the 16km (10mi) walking tour of the city as well as catching up with him personally.

Briefly, Lyon is the capital city in France’s Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. It is located in the central-east of France and is the third largest city in the country with a population > 500k. Situated between Paris and Marseille, it sits at the junction of the Rhone and Saone rivers. If you're a foodie, you'll want to stop here as it is known as the center of gastronomy in France.Weiterlesen
