A day of touring Lyon

Big day today, bought a day travel ticket for 5.50euro which gave me travel on bus train and tram. Really easy to get around, well marked and colour. Went to the famous Les Halle Paul Bucose Mache first, this is filled with the best gourmet food in Lyon. Found this not to be as good as expected, maybe on the weekend it would be buzzing more, but today it was filled with people having lunch in the many restaurants inside. Made my way to the city centre and walk to the Old Town. The Cathedral was a good 2km walked up hill. Quite hot today so I was sweating abit when I reached the top. Went thru the old Roman ruins and the cathedral.  Was well worth the walk as they were very picturesque. The view down to the city was awesome, showing the Rhône and the Saone Rivers as theta both run thue the centre of the city.
