Lyon’s green revolution makes it one of Europe’s best cities to visit. I should know, I live here

I saw rabbits on my commute today. Baby bunnies, eyes like marbles, frolicking on the banks of the River Rhône. It’s not unusual to see rabbits. Occasionally I see snakes too, wriggling across the sandy bike path.

This morning, a low mist hung just over the water. It glowed amber in the dawn light, making it look as though the river was smoking.
