Journey times are around half an hour.</p><p><strong>By train</strong></p><p>Lyon has two main train stations in the city centre. Part-Dieu station is located in the financial district and Perrache is the historical station. Both offer good connections throughout France. Direct international services from Part-Dieu include destinations in Spain, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland and the UK via Eurostar.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Getting around Lyon</h2><p><strong>On foot</strong></p><p>Although Lyon is a big city, its city centre is easily navigable by foot. It would take about 20 minutes to get from Place des Terreaux to Place Bellecour and metro stops are usually around 10 minutes away from each other. Traffic can dense at major intersections and drivers frequently flout red lights.</p><p><strong>By public transport</strong></p><p>Lyon has an efficient and integrated public transport network run by TCL. Tickets cost €1.80 for an hour's travel across the network of metro trains, buses, trolley busses, trams and funicular lines. Daily passes start at €5.50 and can be purchased from machines at the station (they only accept coins) and shops displaying a TCL sign.</p><p>Metros, trams and the funiculars run from around 5am up until midnight with waiting times in the regions of 2 minutes to 10 minutes depending on the time of day and the line. Some bus lines do not run after 9pm however there is an hourly night bus service on some lines called "Pleine Lune" (full moon).</p><p><strong>By taxi</strong></p><p>Taxis are quite expensive in Lyon and a driver can choose to charge €7 for any journey.

For our list of the best hotels in Lyon or gay travelers, please visit our <a href="https://www.travelgay.com/gay-lyon-hotels/">Gay Lyon Hotels</a> page.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Things to See &amp; Do</h2><p><b>Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière -</b> built in the 19th century and a fusion of Byzantine and Romanesque architecture, this church is one of the iconic images of Lyon. Locals joke that the building looks like an upside down elephant.</p><p><b>Musée Gadagne - </b>located in the centre of Lyon, this museum is actually comprised of two museums. The Lyon history museum offers a fascinating glimpse into the varied past of this intriguing city. The museum of world puppets is slightly creepy.</p><p><strong>Passage Thiaffait - </strong>one of Lyon's famous covered walkways in the old silk merchant's quarter. This area is filled with artists' workshops and is a great spot to buy a gift for someone.</p><p><strong>Parc de la Tête d'Or - </strong>large urban park opened in 1857. This is a perfect place to while away sunny afternoon. There is a boating lake, huge greenhouses and a zoo here, which is famous for its "African Plains" collection.</p><p><p id="HEADING" class="heading_name "><strong>Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse - </strong>a fantastic spot to see why Lyon has the reputation of being a gourmet capital. This indoor market has spots where you can sit in for a spot of lunch and wine. You can also take away gastronomical delights to sample at a later date or take on a picnic.</p></p><p><p class="heading_name "><strong>Institut &amp; Musee Lumière - </strong>fascinating museum dedicated to the fathers of cinema housed in a gorgeous art nouveau building. Some of the exhibition is in English but it is recommended to pay €3 for a guide.</p></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><h2 class="heading_name ">When to Visit</h2></p><p>Despite its proximity to the Alps, snow is actually uncommon here. Although the summer months are the driest, rain is quite unpredictable here and can appear at anytime. June and September are probably the best months to visit as the weather is usually pleasant and there are less tourists. Winter winds from the Alps can be biting.</p><p>In honour of Lyon's film heritage, the city hosts the Festival Lumière which attracts stars of French and international cinema. There is also the biennial festivals of dance and modern art and December's iconic Festival of Lights. May sees the Nuits Sonores electroinc music festival descend on the city. Pride is held June.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Money</h2><p>France is a Euro area country. Cash dispensers are widely available. Credit and debit cards are widely accepted. Hotels, banks and some local businesses also operate foreign exchange desks.

Specifically, on the case of a person who had been refused by French authorities the possibility to modify their gender marker to reflect the term "neutral" or "intersex". The ECHR rejected that such a decision was in breach of the European Convention on Human Rights, stating that, given the relevance of such a change to the otherwise binary French legal system, it was for the French state itself to reform its legislation beforehand. However, it acknowledged that future developments in Council of Europe member states could change its interpretation.<br />
