Overview

Lyon’s UNESCO World Heritage Site, Vieux Lyon, is a treasure trove of history and charm along the Saône River. Begin at Quai Romain Rolland, where Renaissance facades frame serene waters, then marvel at the neoclassical Palace of Justice, a symbol of legal legacy.

Lyon Cathedral, a Romanesque-Gothic masterpiece, dazzles with stained glass and an astronomical clock. Wander through hidden traboules like La Longue Traboule, once secret paths for silk workers and Resistance fighters.

Rue du Bœuf enchants with its pink La Tour Rose, blending history with gourmet delights. Hôtel de Gadagne’s puppet museum and Renaissance courtyard captivate, while Place du Change echoes Lyon’s trading past.

Rue Juiverie’s traboules and the Galerie Philibert de L’Orme unveil architectural wonders. Cross the red Passerelle Saint-Vincent to connect past and present, and end with the Fresque des Lyonnais, a mural celebrating Lyon’s soul.

This is Lyon timeless, vibrant, and waiting for you.
