Lyon

At the heart of beautiful France, the city of Lyon blooms with timeless elegance. Nestled between the rivers Rhône and Saône, this vibrant metropolis is the jewel of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, unfolding its charms over the centuries. Lyon, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, reveals a rich and diverse heritage, woven into the cobblestone streets and mysterious traboules. Five arrondissements, each with its own character, make up Lyon's urban fabric. Old Lyon, with its medieval airs, reveals secret traboules, narrow passages that weave a labyrinthine network through historic buildings. The Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière, perched on a hill, majestically watches over the city, offering stunning views of the red roofs and bridges that entwine the rivers.

The pedigree of Lyon is written in the stone of its traboules, but also in the renowned gastronomy that is the city's pride. Lyon's bouchons, small authentic restaurants, reveal the delights of local cuisine. The taste buds awaken with specialties such as pike quenelle, Lyonnaise salad, and of course, delicate charcuterie.

Wandering through the Presqu'île district, between the two rivers, is to immerse yourself in a harmonious mix of chic boutiques, lively cafes, and elegant squares. Place Bellecour, one of the largest squares in Europe, offers a perfect starting point for exploring the city. The traboules of the Croix-Rousse district, the former haunt of silk workers, weave stories of silk and craftsmanship.

Lyon, the city of lights, invites every visitor to discover its hidden treasures, whether it be the murals that color the neighborhoods or the cultural festivals that enliven its squares.
