At the beginning of our visit, we went to an indoor market. It was so fun to see all of the yummy and interesting things! I thought these animal-shaped candies were so beautiful.
I'm sorry for the awful picture quality, but I wanted to include it because this is the most iconic Lyonnaise pastry: the Tarte aux Pralines! I got to try this for breakfast and it was yummy. It's a bit like thin shortbread with a layer of red jam/frosting (the pralines).
Basilique Notre Dame de Fourvière, a beautiful church atop a hill that looks over Lyon.
The detail on every part of the churches in Europe is just amazing. Even the door is a work of art!
The interior of the basilica was very lovely. I'd never seen a church with this interior style so it was really nice to see something different.
This is a view of the church from the city. I always think that the golden statues of Mary are so striking.

This plaza with the fountain was gorgeous. If I remember correctly, each of the men depicted were important craftsmen who lived in Lyon.
Near the end of the day, we took a lovely boat ride along the river
