A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Lyon has 2,000 years of history imprinted on its streets (yes, the cobblestone kind). Explore this history in Vieux Lyon (one of Europe's most extensive Renaissance neighborhoods) and Lyon's two Roman amphitheatres, which still stage rock concerts today. It's no wonder Lyon is a popular area for travelers, with its dynamic university, first-class shopping, antique markets, vibrant theatre and music festivals, and a range of interesting museums, such as the International Puppet Museum and the Museum of Miniatures and Film Sets. (When we say "interesting," we mean it.)

My wife and I had a short amount of time to kill before doing a food tour, so we stumbled upon this pub while in Lyon Old Town. It was a pleasant surprise. The beer selection is good and diverse. It is styled like an old-fashioned Irish pub, so if you're into that type of thing, this works. A special shout out should be made to the manager, Wendell. Wendell is American, but has been living in Lyon for a fairly long time. It was a pleasant surprise to be able to converse with him for the short time we had. It was informative to speak with someone who could tell us about Lyon, living in France after having grown up in the United States, that kind of thing. It was actually a major highlight of the trip, despite all of the sightseeing and food tasting. It's the little things in life, like that encounter, that make it enjoyable. If you're from the USA and visiting Lyon Old Town, stop in and have a pint, and converse with Wendell, he's a cool dude.
