Old Lyon and Fourvière
Cradle of Lyon, then second city of the Roman Empire under the name of Lugdunum, this district still carries today...
From the 17th century to the present day, Lyon has evolved from a post-middle-aged architecture to the great challenges of town planning as imagined by the contemporaries of Haussman or Soufflot.
You could walk from Place Bellecour to Place des Terreaux, laid out by Buren and the Bartoldi fountain, in the middle of wide shopping streets and ornate buildings. The Hotel Dieu reserves these mazes and surprises for those who take the time to walk in the middle of its many courses.
Cultural breaks, through the museum of fabrics and decorative arts, the city of gastronomy, the printing museum and the fine arts museum, will allow you to discover the other facets of this long district.
