Saint-Jean Travel Guide

Lyon

This three-story, 16th-century astronomical clock still ticks away the hours inside the cathedral. Beyond the time of day, the clock also tracks the positions of the sun, moon and stars. It features an impressive religious calendar that marks the dates of popular religious holidays, including irregular holidays like Easter (this part must be rest every ~66 years). If you time it right, you might catch some of the automatons celebrate the hour (3 or 4 times each day).

The location was perfect for crossing the bridges over the Rhône and to dine out. It was just a 20-minute walk to the funicular to ride up to the Notre-Dame de Fourvière Cathedral for a view of Lyon and to see the Roman ruins. The bed was big and super comfortable. Great place to relax.
