Classykathi Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 My husband & I have 2 days to explore a new town after spending a week in Lyon & before flying out of Roissy for Chicago. We won't have a car at this point, so we'd like a location conducive to walking. We'd also like a town within easy access to the TGV.Note: we will also have spent 10 days in the Beaune & Meursault areas.Any suggestions or votes for Macon or Tournus? Both look interesting.Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoddy Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 My experience is out of date, but when I visited Macon some years ago I liked it very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alittlebitfrench Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 A week is a long time in Lyon without a car.If it was me, I would take a train from Lyon to either Besancon or Strasbourg. Both loverly cities to explore by foot.Then TGV it back to CDG. The two places you mention are not that interesting.An alternative (in that area you are looking at) is Cluny if you can work out how to get there from Lyon. I am sure you can go by bus. It is only 45 mins away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alittlebitfrench Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Yes, the metro is loverly at night....not.Especially today. LOLBike is the best way to get around Lyon.I lived there for two years. I think I rode over 1000 km's there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
