The number of train tickets to Lyon bought by international tourists over the Easter holidays increase by 59%, in comparison to the year before. This makes it, outside of Paris, the second most visited French city, after Lille.
An English-Speaking Success
France was particularly popular amongst Anglophones. The British, followed by the Germans and Americans, travelled around France in the greatest numbers this Spring.
In January 2019, a similar report on journeys taken in France in December 2018 by Trainline also saw Lyon take the silver medal, but that time only falling short to Strasbourg.
