I attended a 2-day business meeting in Lyon towards the end of April. It finished on a Friday, so Sue came to join me for the weekend to explore this city. Neither one had been here before and there is a lot to see and eat. The meeting was held at the Hilton Lyon and we stayed over. In our experience, packing and unpacking to change hotel is a total waste of time. The Hilton is located in the Cité Internationale, an impressive large-scale project designed by Renzo Piano. The picture above is taken from the hotel just above the glass ceiling of the main pedestrian walkway. It is located between the Rhone and a big, beautiful park (“Gold head”, Parc de la Tête d’Or). It is a neat place but a bit of a hike into downtown Lyon. More tomorrow.
