Cheap flights from Marrakesh to Lyon from £46

Lyon has large outdoor markets at La Croix Rousse and St Antoine. They offer a vast selection of traditional and gourmet food. Some dishes are ready to eat, so you can enjoy them right on the spot! Les Halles Paul Bocuse is a modern indoor market, where you can shop for various French delicacies. Note that you can find them not far from the Rhône or Saône rivers, flowing through Lyon.

This unusual installation on the bank of the Rhône river is in stark contrast with the nearby historic buildings. Eighty-five giant plastic flowers, each the size of a car door, are clustered together to resemble a real tree. The Korean artist Jeong-Hwa Choi created the tree during the 7th biennial festival of Contemporary Art in Lyon. This contemporary artwork, eye-catching in its size and colours, will definitely motivate you to take some shots!

Exchange points at the airport or in tourist areas tend to add an exorbitant fee for their services. Besides, the exchange rate may not be in your favour. Such a large city as Lyon is likely to have plenty of ATMs. Note that most French banks won’t charge you any fees for using them to withdraw cash. However, you should also check the tariffs of your bank for such cases.
