The forgotten city! Out shone by its neighboring cities of Paris and Marseille, Lyon has much charm and warmth to offer its visitors. Known for many centuries as the cuisine capital of France;this is partly due to the fact that many of the countries world renowned chiefs have made the city their home and that the vineyards of Beaujolais and Cotes du Rhone are located North and South of the city respectively. Restaurants in the city serve many traditional and local dishes which are often accompanied with a glass of wine from one of these famous vineyards. The area is famous for a number of dishes, like andouillette(a sausage of coarsely cut tripe)and Salade Lyonnais(lettuce with bacon, croutons and a poached egg). Roman Theatre! The Odeon of Lyon is an ancient Roman Theatre. The amphitheatre is built into the side of a hill that leads up to the modern day Croix Rousse. It was thought that this theatre was the sight of Christian Martyrdom in 177 but this conclusion was later proved to be wrong. Today the amphitheatre of the 3 Gauls is a small ruin,barely noticeable in the small town.
