Vue du Mont Cindre, Lyon et des Alpes

Highlight • Other

A very beautiful view of Lyon, we are both close and far from the city. You would not believe that a metropolis is 2 steps away. In no clear weather you can even see the Alps, La Meije... The Mont Cindre telecom tower is clearly visible indicating the direction of the Alps.
