Old Lyon (Vieux Lyon)

Nestled at the foot of Fourviére Hill, Old Lyon (Vieux Lyon) stands as a charming contrast to the modern city across the river. This historic district is characterized by its elegant medieval churches and Renaissance-era monuments, set against a backdrop of pastel-painted facades. Visitors can wander through narrow, cobbled streets, exploring the rich tapestry of architectural heritage that has earned Vieux Lyon its reputation as the city’s most atmospheric neighborhood.
