Lyon: a UNESCO World Heritage city to be savoured

This video takes a pre-Covid look at beautiful Lyon, France’s third-largest city, and one of the country’s oldest.

Of particular note is its large historic centre, Le Vieux Lyon, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site boasting the largest ensemble of Renaissance buildings in Europe. Lyon is also reputed to be France’s gourmet capital, with foodies finding ample opportunity to celebrate the art of cooking.

Ultimately, while Lyon’s historic and cultural attractions are only highlighted here, they deserve to be savoured at leisure… just as soon as travelling becomes less fraught with Corona restrictions.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
