On This Page:Lyon Travel Guide
At the junction of the turbulent Rhône and the tranquil Saône, Lyon is the third-largest city in France. The city has a population of 400,000, with more than a million more people spread across the large urban area that surrounds it. Lyon is the center of an industrial region—textile manufacturing is especially important. It's a leader in publishing and banking, and it's one of the world's silk capitals. Some of the country's best restaurants, including Paul Bocuse, are in and around Lyon. Such dishes as Lyon sausage, quenelles, and tripe Lyonnais are world famous. The region's succulent Bresse poultry is the best in France.
