Lyon is an ancient and living city at the junction of the Rhone and Sona rivers, founded by the Romans in 43 BC. Today it is the third largest city in France, where centuries-old history, craft traditions and modern culture intertwine. The streets of Lyon breathe the atmosphere of the old port, silk workshops and gastronomic glory, which makes the city attractive for those who are looking for both cultural discoveries and cozy walks.
The man-made sights of Lyon are impressive in diversity: Belcourt Square is one of the largest pedestrian squares in Europe, the famous Bartholdi Fountains and Jacobins Square, ancient cathedrals, including St. John the Baptist Cathedral in the Old Town, and the St. Nizier Church. The historic quarter of Vieux Lyon is like an open-air museum with Renaissance residential buildings and narrow aisles of trobules, while the Rose Tower and the Palace of Saint-Pierre, which now houses the Museum of Fine Arts, show the architectural layers of the city. The Monument to Saint-Exupery and the Chapel of the Victims of the Revolution add historical and emotional context, while the Bois Dieu Castle and other surrounding structures suggest a regional flavor.
Natural pearls are located both within the city and in its vicinity: the picturesque embankments of the Rhône and Sonae, the Fourvière and Croix-Rouss hills with panoramic views, cozy parks and green slopes for leisurely walks. At a short distance from the city lies the Rhone Valley with vineyards and prestigious estates, where you can arrange a tasting and see the nature of the region. In the vicinity there are cozy villages, walking routes along rivers and hills, which perfectly complement the city route.
