Located in the Rhone-Alps region of France, Lyon is the country’s third largest city and attracts visitors from all over the globe. Although this vibrant city is simply bursting with attractions, accommodation tends to be a bit pricy and many people base themselves in the suburb of Vaulx En Velin, travelling into the city using car hire in Vaulx En Velin.

The main attractions here is a large planetarium and there are regular shows here, which take visitors on a tour of the solar system. Flowing just to the south of Vaulx En Velin is the Rhone, and a number of companies hire boats or offer cruises along the river, which is particularly popular at sunset.

The Parc de la Tete d’Or is a pretty place to wander while the sun shines and is located just to the west of Vaulx En Velin. This is a good place to relax and unwind for a while before heading back into Lyon.
