Unmissable view of Lyon from the esplanade of the Basilique de Fourvière on the hill of the same name. View of the peninsula, the Croix Rousse hill and, in good weather, the Alps and Mont Blanc

Fourvière Hill is one of the most important tourist sites in the city of Lyon. The climb is steep, but you are rewarded at the top with an exceptional panorama of the city.
