Old Lyon is an enchanting district that exudes history and charm. Its cobbled streets, medieval buildings and mysterious traboules transport visitors to another time. Strolling through its streets, admiring the colorful facades and discovering its small traditional shops is an experience in its own right. In addition, the Lyonnais Bouchons, famous for their generous and tasty cuisine, make Vieux Lyon an essential place for food lovers. Whether for its medieval atmosphere, its architectural treasures or its gastronomy, Old Lyon is a real gem to explore.

The Romanesque-Gothic cathedral is located in the center of Lyon and on the banks of the Rhône. Especially its three-door main facade is spectacular with a rose window that creates beautiful light in the nave of the church building.

Vieux Lyon is the medieval and Renaissance district of Lyon. It is located on the edge of the Saône, at the foot of the hill of Fourvière on the right bank of the Saône. It is one of the largest neighborhoods of this medieval and Renaissance period (along with Venice) which has remained intact to this day. The whole of Old Lyon extends at the bottom of the Fourvière hill, over thirty hectares. Old Lyon has three districts: Saint-Jean, Saint-Georges, Saint-Paul:
Saint-Jean is the best known district, with the Saint-Jean cathedral. It is also the most touristic district of Old Lyon. Its main artery is rue Saint-Jean, crossing the district to the Saint-Paul district. It has many architectural curiosities, in particular the traboules. You will find very beautiful inner courtyards, often unsuspected and retaining their medieval characteristics. Mainly pedestrian district, it allows pleasant walks. It is in this district that the Gadagne ensemble is located, place du petit Collège. Magnificent Renaissance building classified as a historic monument, it houses the Lyon History Museum as well as the Museum of Puppetry Arts. Read more: fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vieux_Lyon
