Summer Day in Vieux Lyon

Vieux Lyon (Old Lyon) is the most picturesque section of Lyon. It's located at the base of a large hill along the Soane River. The Gauls first settled on in the first century BC. They were followed by the Romans and eventually the Franks. Lyon gradually spread out from here.
Many buildings in Vieux Lyon date back to the Renaissance. The streets are narrow
cobblestone avenues. In summer, the area is filled with tourists. Saturday, July 12 was one of the hottest days of the summer. These kids found the perfect way to enjoy the day..
