Here’s just some of the reasons why travelling as a vegan is SO damn good Whether you’ve got a weekend city break or an expedition to far away shores travelling as a vegan is definitely the way forward. We’ve always been foodies, saying yes to trying new things, but when travelling we’re able to explore so much more than if we stayed in one place. We’re currently in France and there’s no way we could afford travel here if we were eating all their local meaty dishes. When you’re paying attention to the food you’re eating you get drawn into a country’s cuisine without even realising.

This isn’t the case in Lyon, here you’ll find many of the most exciting, authentic and important things to experience are completely free. The streets outside are some of the busiest you’ll find in Lyon but once you step inside it’s a completely different world. If it’s a nice evening you can’t beat taking a beer up to Jardin des Curiosites and watching the city as the sun sets: it was one of our favourite things to do in Lyon at night. Markets are always one of our highlights to a city and one of our favourite things to do on the weekend in Lyon was to find new ones to explore.

As cyclists themselves they told us about the Via Rhona cycle route which stretches from the south of France all the way to Geneva. I’ve never been a fan of Ruth and really liked the idea of following a cycle route On the left side were towering chalk cliffs with stretches of farmers fields at their base and on the right the meandering Rhône river glistened under the sun’s rays in a turquoise green. Although the Via Rhona ends in Geneva we were wanting to go a little further, cycling through Switzerland and back into France to stay with an old friend.
