Paris & Lyon

A trip to France (Paris and Lyon, with a day trip to Annecy) with the parents back in 2017, right before I moved from Boston to San Francisco to start a new job.

 

Paris

We’ve been to Paris a quite few times already, so I didn’t take as many photos this time round.

The only touristy thing we did in Paris was this dinner cruise passing by landmarks at night. We were a little bummed out that it was pouring, but it turned out to add to the lovely atmosphere. I wasn’t expecting to enjoy such a touristy cruise this much but we had a blast!

Lyon

Once my dad was done with his conference in Paris, we took the train to Lyon, the 3rd largest city in France. The train ride was just under 2 hours. We stayed here for the remainder of our time in France, with a day trip to Annecy (separate post coming up next!)
