Our last road trip of the year was to Lyon, 90 minutes or so from Geneva and a city we had on our must visit list for awhile.
The St. Lucian Lad came with us for the trip, which I find lowers my stress level on day trips because I am not worried about him home alone desperate to go out for a walk. As long as the weather cooperates and we can find underground parking, he is very content to nap in the car while we visit museums etc.
First stop was the Lyon zoo (surprisingly mostly dog friendly) located within a huge park in the middle of the city.
While Lyon is known for its fine dining we know the limits of our Tiny Humans and conscious of time given it was just a day trip, we found a little burger chain King Marcel. While not fine dining, the burgers were adequately fancy and we were back out exploring the old part of the city. Shopping for Tiny Humans 1&2, pigeon chasing for Tiny Human 3 and a cathedral for the adults.
Next up the Museum of Confluence, Lyon’s Natural History Museum. Tiny Human 3 was not a fan of wandering through the museum on his own steam but did enjoy the birds and the girls are in their element wandering through museums like this.
After a quick pit stop for me check out a kitchen store I had been eyeing we headed out of town. Lesson learned from previous trips, we stopped for dinner at a brewpub for a brewery we like rather than trying to stop somewhere on the way home.
We arrived in before 23h but a lot of driving for M and we barely scratched the surface of the city so we will have to find time for a return visit soon.
