Lyon: A City of History and Culture

Within the capital of Gauls, there are several monuments that constitute the city's historical and cultural heritage. During your visit to this region of France, make sure not to miss these emblematic sites of the city and to admire, on the same occasion, their unique architectural style. For example, the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière draws visitors with its beautiful and rich decorations. Both inside and outside, the basilica features a mosaic illustrating the role of the Virgin Mary in the history of France and of the church. Next to the basilica, you will find the Gallo-Roman Theatre of Lyon, an ancient relic from the Gallo-Roman era. Another historical site not to be missed: the picturesque district of Old Lyon. In this district, you will find structures dating back to the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. This is the case, for example, with the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Cathedral and the traboules of Lyon. Finally, do not miss exploring the classic buildings of the Presqu'île and the Croix-Rousse. Lyon: a wide range of activities suitable for all tastes In Lyon, you can indulge in various kinds of activities. For those who prefer spending the day amidst nature, for example, you can opt for a hike at the Blue Water Lake or at the Pilat Regional Natural Park. For extreme sports enthusiasts, go for skydiving or bungee jumping. Activities that guarantee adrenaline rushes and strong emotions that allow you to admire the city from a different angle. For those seeking a calmer yet no less unusual ambiance, we suggest attending one of the workshops organized by locals. This will be an opportunity for you to acquire new skills and to create lovely souvenirs.
