Visit the Musée des Confluences
Confluence, France
Where the Rhône and Saône meet, the Musée des Confluences is as striking outside as it is varied inside. Its glass-and-steel building houses displays that connect human origins, natural history and cultures, alongside changing exhibitions. Allow enough time to follow a theme that catches your interest rather than rushing through every room. Afterwards, walk around the riverside setting to understand the geography that gives the museum its name and shapes this newer part of Lyon.
