Leaving Lyon – Day 5 of 5

Packed up early at 6:30am and then walked off to the Parc de Tete d’Or. Gorgeous, massive park super close to the city. You really do feel like you’re away from the city with lots of greenery around you and there’s a zoo too! It reminded me of Stanley park 🙂 After that, I walked home … Continue reading Leaving Lyon – Day 5 of 5 →
