My next adventure: Jordan (Amman/Petra) – March 2025

Day 16 (France) – Travel to Lyon

Today we continued our European road trip by hopping back over the French border to the city of Lyon. Although the journey should take around 3.5 hours, given that it’s not everyday that we have the WAV in Switzerland, we should go rogue. With only the European Road Atlas for navigation, we found ourselves driving through all manner of landscapes…

Eventually we hit the French border in 33C heat and then onto the homestretch to Lyon…

In a change of hotel styles, we are staying at the ibis (Part-Dieu Les Halles) for the next two nights, however, what one failed to realise during planning is that the WAV is too high for the car park hence it is in a pay and display currently.

In addition to finding somewhere to park, the plan for tomorrow is to take a roll around the neighboring financial district and, of course, the train station!
