Hiking

A basilica in the center of the city, much less known and visited than Notre-Dame on the hill of Fourvière, but certainly worth a visit.

Hiking

The Basilica of Saint-Bonaventure is a Catholic religious building located in the heart of Lyon, in the Cordeliers district. Built in 1326 and completed in 1471, it has a particularity: unlike the Gothic churches of the time, it faces south. The Cordeliers, a community of Franciscan monks, have been linked to this basilica for eight centuries.
