After our final morning at the InterContinental Lyon, we checked out and revisited the Roman theatres, which were closed for wind when we visited earlier on this trip. After, we had lunch at Bouchon Tupin before catching a train to Geneva, checked into the Crowne Plaza, and had dinner in the city.

After breakfast at #InterContinentalLyon, we headed over to Chambery, a former capital of Savoy. We ended up visiting the Cathédrale Saint-François-de-Sales and Musée Savoisien with lunch in between at a Savoyard restaurant. Unfortunately, the museum of the Château des Ducs de Savoie is closed on Mondays so we could not visit.

After breakfast at the InterContinental Lyon Hotel-Dieu, we decided to head up to Beaune as the weather forecast was the most favorable there. We came upon a marching band and the 165th Hospices de Beaune Wine Auction! We enjoyed some music and food, saw some historic buildings and a bit of the auction, and visited the #EdmondFallot mustard factory.
