Lyon came up on our Skyscanner search for potential travel destinations when we needed to fill in a 'freed up' weekend with an overseas trip. One of the great features of the Skyscanner site is the ability to search target dates / months without a destination and be inspired (or driven by price) on what the search engine returns. So that is how we picked Lyon - a UNESCO World Heritage listed city and one of the gastronomical capitals of Europe. We did some further research before the trip and we noted that , Lyon was the one-time capital of Gaul - remember those Asterix and Obelix cartoon books?
