Visite

It is in Lyon and only in Lyon...

...That you can walk through 2000 years of history, stroll through the different neighbourhoods chosen by UNESCO as a part of World Heritage, and see everything from Roman architecture to today's boldest creations.

...That the Museums with all their different specialties: silk, cinematography, fine arts, the French resistance, printing, and sometimes surprising themes: models and films decors not forgetting the murals, located in areas that testify to Lyon's architectural wealth over the centuries.

...That there is always something interesting going on: the biennial dance and modern art festivals, the Opera or even the Festival des Nuits Sonores - The Nights of Sound.

Even in the heart of winter, the city lights up and simply buzzes with life during the Festival of Lights, Lyon's biggest and most popular celebration that combines tradition with state-of the art technology at the service of creativity and the arts of illumination.

... That you can go shopping in total peace of mind, in the heart of the "Presqu'île"

... That you can succumb to the charm of a calm evening, by dining on a boat cruising gently on the Rhone and the Saone down to their confluence.


... That you can test new means of urban transport, getting on to a Vélo'V or being driven in an electric cyclopousse, to visit the riverbanks, the squares and the gardens at your own personal pace.

... That you can taste cuisine from the world over, from the traditional Lyon "bouchons" to the most original "brasseries".
