    Hiking

    One of the oldest churches in Lyon, located in the heart of the Presqu’île. Built between the 14th and 19th centuries, it is dedicated to Saint Nizier, bishop of Lyon. The church is known for its two asymmetrical towers and its flamboyant Gothic architecture.

    Located in the Presqu’île district, between Place des Terreaux and Place des Jacobins, the Saint-Nizier Church is an architectural gem.
    It was built mainly between 1160 and 1225, making it one of the main examples of Gothic architecture in France.
    Its name pays homage to Nicetius of Lyon, bishop of the city in the 6th century.

    Impressive Gothic architecture with intricately detailed sculptures. Inside, the high vaults and ornate stained glass windows are fascinating. The church exudes a tranquil, spiritual atmosphere in the heart of the city. A definite must-visit for history and art buffs!
