Façade de l'église Saint-Nizier à Lyon (France)
Lyon, France's second largest city, is the European capital of mural paintings, and is one of the top five cities in the world in terms of the number of murals. There are over 150 giant murals on walls all over Lyon. "Le Pot Beaujolais" is one of many wall frescoes by 'Cité de la Creation', a group that has been commissioned to paint wall murals for other cities in France, Germany, Portugal, Spain, Canada, Mexico, and Israel. #DiscoverLyon #mural
This three-story, 16th-century astronomical clock still ticks away the hours inside the cathedral. Beyond the time of day, the clock also tracks the positions of the sun, moon and stars. It features an impressive religious calendar that marks the dates of popular religious holidays, including irregular holidays like Easter (this part must be rest every ~66 years). If you time it right, you might catch some of the automatons celebrate the hour (3 or 4 times each day).
Such a wonderful place to explore and just a quick ride on the Funicular to reach it. #LifeAtExpedia #Lyon #France #Roman #Ruins #Museum #Gardens #History

8.8/10 Excellent! (964 reviews)
The staff was lovely and responsive. There were issues with room cleanliness when I arrived (personal items from a previous guest in the bedding). The elevator was under repair for the first couple of days of my trip. The location is very central and the breakfast and refreshments available in the lobby were appreciated. I enjoyed my stay much more once the room was cleaned properly and the elevator was functional. Note: Soundproofing is minimal and noise from other guests and staff can be disruptive.

Great full-service hotel in an outstanding location. Every staff person showed complete dedication to making my stay pleasant. Morning breakfast with view of the river was memorable. Facilities are not particularly new, but everything in the room was spotless and worked perfectly.
