8 Pl. de FourvièreI love this little “museum” in the middle of Vieux Lyon. It is a wonder to see how they’ve created such tiny scenes as well as famous (full-size) costumes for big-name movies.

Not only a gorgeous piece of architecture, this museum hosts unusual exhibits (great for kids!) and it is right on the edge of where the Rhône and Saône rivers converge.

La Tour Rose was also known as la Maison du Crible. The spiral stairway that gives the tower its name was painted pink in the 1970s. Once part of a private house dating back to the Middle Ages, it is a traboule which has now been restored. To get a good view of the tower, head into the traboule and look up, or visit the upper floor of the Food Traboule (eatery) to see its glass ceiling.

A small museum worth a peek; it includes a few items for purchase and gives a sense of what the silk workers used to make their oeuvres.

A lovely little park in Croix Rousse with a Tuscan-style villa that was built in 1913 that has children's playgrounds and a fitness trail.

Opened in 1857, this park is immense and gorgeous on sunny days. It’s great for a peaceful walk around the lake (with a few places to stop for a drink or ice cream) or to take the kids. In the park's central part, there is a small free zoo that has giraffes, deer, reptiles, primates and other animals. There is also an adorable mini-train from which to take in some of the 117 hectares of scenery.

役立つフレーズ
Say "bonjour" to everyone!
In France, it is customary to say "bonjour" when you enter a restaurant, store or anywhere else. Of course, "merci" ("thank you") is always appreciated!
When you leave, you might say:
"Bonne journée" - "good day"
"Bonne après-midi" - "good afternoon"
"Bonne soirée" - "good evening"
Tip: the French don't say "good night". The word "night" ("nuit") means the time when you sleep - not something you would wish a stranger!
Other words/phrases that are good to know in any language:
> Santé! - Cheers!
> Merci - Thank you (merci beaucoup - thank you very much)
> S'il vous plaît - Please

出発前に予約しよう
Make reservations for restaurants
People love to eat out in Lyon! With so many wonderful restaurants, it's hard to believe that seating can be limited but it's often the case. It is advisable to make reservations in advance wherever reservations are accepted. Otherwise, you might be stuck with only a Lyonnais taco! (Which really isn't so bad; it's just not the same type of "eating out".)
