3 days in Lyon : Beaujolais wine, Lyon world heritage and Northern Rhône valley wine
Discover Lyon, the capital of gastronomy and history, and explore its iconic wine regions like Beaujolais and the Rhône Valley on our multi-day trip in Lyon.

Yet, beyond its urban charm, an entire wine region flourishes at its doorstep, stretching from the Beaujolais hills to the northern banks of the Rhône Valley.
