Lyon in Frankreich is a destination that Honeymoon plans for couples who focus on togetherness, calm and privacy. Behind it stands Honeymoon, a Swiss travel agency with video consultation that puts honeymoons together individually. With the planner, you state your wishes for two, and the discussion of the trip follows in the video call.

Why this trip
Lyon has two rivers, two hills and a cuisine that travels on its own account. For couples it is a city where the day consists of three meals, with walks in between. The most pleasant times are May and June as well as September and October, when it is warm and the terraces are open. On the Fourvière hill stands the Basilica of Notre-Dame, and right next to it lies the Roman Theatre, where you sit on stone benches and look out over the rooftops.
The Gallo-Roman Museum shows how old the city is. In the old town every lane leads to a small square, and on the Mur des Canuts a mural paints the everyday life of the silk weavers. A quiet spot is the Jardin des Curiosités, a garden where you recover from the pace of the city. The Hotel de l'Abbaye, the InterContinental Lyon in the former Hôtel-Dieu or the Hotel Carlton Lyon are good places to stay.
Lyon suits the start or the end of a trip to France, whether with Chamonix afterwards or with a journey towards the south. How long you stay is something Honeymoon will settle with you on a video call.
