Hi everyone!
If you’ve been following my posts, you might remember me mentioning that I was headed to Lyon to visit Joyee over a weekend, and that she’d be getting some of the passionfruit & raspberry tart.
<3
Unlike most trips that I go on, I didn’t bother planning for this at all (i.e. I didn’t really know what there was to see/eat in Lyon) because I figured Jo would know all the best things to do. All I did was book my transport to & fro and I decided she’d handle the rest haha. The train to Lyon was super quick, approximately 2 hours, and in no time, I was reunited with Jo (after 4-5 months of not seeing her!!!).
I was blessed with beautiful weather (blue skies) over the weekend, contrary to what had been forecast (cloudy, rainy), even witnessing Lyon’s ‘first snowfall’ on Monday when I left. The beautiful weather, coupled with the awesome company (thanks Jo & Ben, Jon you were missed 🙁 ) truly made for a great weekend trip.
Just a few snippets of my time in beautiful Lyon below:
Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière
Exploring the Traboules (feat. BLACK, cos Cake is the New Black of course)
Stay tuned for my next few posts! It’s going to feature loads of chocolate yum yum ~

I was thinking of going to Lyon in February! Do you recommend it? Have you been elsewhere in France? I am deciding between Lyon or Bordeaux. ?
Hey Lisa! I think 2 full days is good enough for Lyon. You’ll be able to cover the sights + museums & food places in that time. I have been to other parts, Bordeaux being one of them! If you really like wine then it’s def a place to go to! Scenery while driving is good as well.
Another place I really liked was Loire Valley (a drive away from Bordeaux). Wrote about it here when my family visited in 2012 https://midiandme.wordpress.com/2012/06/19/of-chateaux-and-sprawling-grounds/
Hope this helps!!
Thank you so much for the recommendations! I am going to read your recount of Bordeaux now. 🙂
Hello! Joyee said I got a shout-out, so here I am! Sorry we didn’t get to meet this time, but have fun and catch you next time maybe! (:
Hi! Lemme know if you’ll be in Paris in the next few weeks 🙂
