After burritos, we headed off towards Vieux Lyon, but for reals this time.
We crossed over La Saône...
...and started the long "up" to Old Lyon.
And by long "up" I mean 808 steps (between two different sets of stairs). I think there is some sort of shuttle you can take, but that's not really our style. (That being said, I'm quite sore today from the impromptu stairmaster-esque marathon.)
The long walk was worth it to see this view over Lyon...
...as well as to see the Basilique Notre-Dame de Fourviere and Tour Métallique.
{These Frye boots were meant for walkin...}
After walking up 808 stairs and then down 808 stairs, we were tired, cold and in need of a beverage. Luckily we found an incredible cafe called l'apostrophe, where we sipped on some vin chaud with the mid-afternoon Lyonnaise crowd.
Next, Lyon Part 3...
A la prochaine friends...
