La Vie en Rose 🌹 : France

Lyon's partly Romanesque cathedral, whose Flamboyant Gothic facade was completed in 1480 (and recently renovated), is decorated with 280 square stone medallions. Inside, the highlight is the astronomical clock in the north transept, and a small but impressive collection of sacred artworks is housed in the adjoining treasury.

ii. Lyon Confluence

Lyon is continuing its transformation with the Confluence district, which used to be an area of abandoned warehouses and urban blight. The 150-hectare district has been revamped with cutting-edge architecture, new shops, restaurants, high-end lodging, and one groundbreaking new museum.  It's set in a jaw-dropping architectural work of geometric forms in glass and steel, right at the meeting of the Rhône and the Saône.

3. Bordeaux
