Good to know before you go
The currency is the euro and French is the language, though English is common in tourist spots. Getting around is a pleasure: the modern tram network plus buses and a bike-share cover the city cheaply, and the centre is very walkable, so a car is really only worth it for touring the outlying vineyards, where organized wine tours are an easy car-free alternative. Tipping is not required since service is included, but rounding up is a nice gesture.
