Lyon
Lyon is the capital of the Rhone-Alpes region. It is the third largest city in France and offers a lot of food and cultural opportunities. The geography of the city is affected by the two rivers that run through it, both north to south. These rivers, the Rhone to the east, and the Saone to the west divide the city into several neighborhoods, each worth exploring for their own reasons.
Don't forget to swing by the Fourvière Basilica and check out the view of the city. Also worth seeing are the Musées Gadagne and Parc de la Tête d'Or.

Local Events in Lyon
If you want to do something a little off the beaten path from what the typical tourist might do, pick up one of the weekly magazines that announce ongoing events. There are two magazines, either Le Petit Bulletin, which is free and found at cinemas, theaters, among other sites, and the Lyon Poche, which is provides an online listing of events.
You may have to reserve tickets ahead of time depending on the venue, so do plan ahead. Some venues may even sell out months in advance if it's a top selling act.
