Uncommon European Escapes

3. Lyon, France

While there’s no denying that Paris has a magnetic force of attraction to any Euro-traveller, it’s not the only great city to see in France. Lyon can certainly give the capital a run for its money when it comes to cultural life. From a vast array of museums, to shopping opportunities, and active nightlife, this city offers a whole lot, but for a lot less money than Paris, thereby boosting its travel value. Also, be sure to check out the country’s largest park, Parc de la Tête d’Or, for free.
