I plan to go there during the third week in September. Any suggestions on what to see and do there? Any interesting shops there?

hey, I just found this web site - haven't looked at it thoroughly, but <BR>see if you like it.. <BR>http://www.michelin-travel.com/ <BR>eng/cdm/131954/index.htm (it's on the home page as "our touring pages", then I clicked on Lyon on the map...

One of the things in that area of France are the great Wine Country drives.

The old city center is wonderful to walk. Make sure you see the "traboules" or passageways! I actually took a walking tour of Lyon that I signed up for at the tourist office. <BR> <BR>Also, Lyon is a also a convenient base to make an excursion to Annecy- one of my most favorite places. It is about 90 min. by car. <BR>

thanks Big Al, Bob and Ellen for your suggestions.
