Now we have no car, we have joined ZITY– an electric car hire scheme in Lyon. So it would be rude not to give it a test drive.

Cath was so enthralled with my news of my recent trip to l’Ile Barbe that she wanted to go so it was time to grab a ZITY.


There were quite a few people there but we were able to visit the chapel and other buildings on the island.




We sought out the popular bakery nearby – but it was a bit too popular.

And then we drove home. I think ZITY cars are meant only for driving around Lyon but I’ve signed up for another scheme so we can give that one a go to go a bit further a field.
