5 Days in Lyon with Kids
A family-friendly Lyon plan that makes France’s food capital approachable: funicular rides, traboule passages, riverside parks, puppet heritage, and market meals that do not require formal dining every night. It is built for curious families who want culture and great eating without Paris-level pressure, with short metro hops, weatherproof museum options, and clear neighborhood bases for easy forking.
