Roman Ruins in Lyon, France

The Romans were a widespread civilization. I had studied them before but even I was in shock that their reaches included this seemingly quiet stronghold of France. Standing in 2,000 plus years of history feels surreal. Dirt and grass patches filled where people once walked. The stairs down towards center stage are as steep as they look. Take a moment to sit in one of the higher rows and breathe in the view of the city in the distance.

Funicular to Fourvière in Lyon, France

The funicular or tram that brings us up towards either the Roman Amphitheatre or Fourvière is an adorable little red cart that climbs the steep hill so we don't have to.
