For more than 2,000 years, Lyon’s hours have followed one another. From dawn to night, over the centuries, we have seen this city whose commercial and industrial past has given it a false reputation for austerity.
Old Lyon is the finest example of Renaissance architecture in the whole of France. Towers, staircases, underground passageways, hidden hotels and hanging gardens make it the perfect place for a stroll.
Modern Lyon offers all the advantages of an exceptional tourist centre, the gastronomic capital of France, situated at the meeting point of the Bresse, Savoy, Auvergne and Provence routes.
Lyon, a mysterious city where everything is waiting to be discovered by travellers, is covered in millions of twinkling lights for the night of 8 December.
