Europe - 2016

Day 21: Vienne to Bellville to Lyon Wed Jul 27, 2016

We travelled overnight from Vienne and disembarked in Belleville after cruising past Lyon earlier. We elected to walk through Belleville rather than take a tour of Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne or Oingt. After lunch we cruised back to Lyon, first stopping at L’Abbaye de Collonges, owned by Michelin-starred French chef Paul Bocuse, for dinner.
