I watched him lean into the mic, tattoos catching the red light, voice cutting straight through all that noise and landing somewhere personal, like he was singing to one person instead of a hundred thousand. That’s the strange magic of it. A stadium that size, and somehow it still feels intimate. Then came Mic Drop, and Normal, and the whole crowd started chanting their names, one after another, thousands of voices calling out to seven people who probably couldn’t hear any single one of us,...

I feel safe walking around the city at night to my airbnb place. It’s always better to be attentive but nothing happened to me luckily and street is kinda empty. People are super nice, helpful, and willing to speak English! I had a good time there apart from the food poisoning from beef tartare😮💨

Full of people, there’s a half-hour line even to go to the bathroom. The churches are beautiful, especially the Saint Chapelle or San Denis. The metro is very easy to use. However, it’s extremely expensive— a bottle of water costs 6€.

Well pretty good in the city centre but be sure to hold your bag strong. In the night guys are loud so you better take cab to get home. Also don’t leave cigarettes on the table - you might be asked by everyone for a cigarette

It is kind of safe during the day, but you still have to be careful but at night there are a lot of drunk people, especially in the center and in Roubaix. Just try to stay with people to avoid non-crowded areas.

It is a very safe city with several police patrols, two police stations in the busy areas, and plenty of cameras. The residents are mostly elderly couples and families, so it is calm and clean. There are no 'dangerous' places except maybe around the train station at night because there are the bars (police officers are often stationed there).

Lyon is a city in which you feel most of the Time safe. It is a big city with a lot of students, a night Life, so There are always people you can rely on in case of insecurity in the subway or in the streets. The neighborhood La Guillotiere is a bit unsafe however, so I recommend not to go there by night.
