Lyon or Ghent for weekend break
Looking for a weekend break and can't decide between Lyon and Ghent. We want to just chill out and walk around a lovely old town. Would be there from Friday to Sunday.

Apples and Oranges...Lyon is France's 3rd largest city; famous for food, vestiges of the Roman empire, and one of the greatest of cities of the Renaissance era: silk weaving, banking, and in the 19th century, a seat of the progressive, post Napoleonic era labor movement... Ghent is a medieval merchant city, with extant watchtowers and canals; one is in France, the other in Flemish Belgium.. both delightful but in their own unique ways...it is up to you decide which of the two cities holds your fascination..
