I have to clarify “Busy Lyon”. I was told by a Paris resident Lyon is a French food capital. It is! The restaurants were packed. I didn’t try a lot of the local food since I was not willing to eat the large portions presented (still on my strict diet). But It all looked so delicious. If you are into food and are in France I think you should visit Lyon. It is an interesting city, though expensive during this tourist season (June).

You wouldn’t think Lyon in France is where you would find one of the largest cinema museums but it is indeed here. Here are some things I found interesting at the Lyon Cinema Museum. All of the items here are from the actual movie productions. This museum is also housing many miniature movie sets that are really fascinating to see. It is well worth the entry fee if you are interested in movie memorabilia.
