What People Are Saying About Lyon

Lyon Old Town

avatar
野枫印象
The Old City of Lyon is a rich historical and cultural place in Lyon, France. With over a thousand years of history, this area is a great place to explore the history of France's third largest city. The Old City of Lyon is particularly famous for its Renaissance architecture, which is particularly marked throughout the region. The Old City of Lyon is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which not only demonstrates the Renaissance style, but also witnesses the economic prosperity of the period. The historic district is divided into three distinct areas: the Saint Jean, the Saint George and the Saint Paul. Each block has its own unique features and history. The Saint Jean district is the center of the old town, famous for its Gothic-style Saint Jean Cathedral, in addition to numerous slate alleys and Tuscan-style courtyards. The St. George's neighborhood is the birthplace of the silk industry, with many famous alleyways and hidden passageways that were once widely used by merchants.

We took the cable car up the mountain, and when we got off the cable car, we found ourselves standing in front of the church. After visiting the church, we found a place similar to a small garden, where we could have a cup of coffee while overlooking the city below the mountain.

Basilica of Notre Dame of Fourvière

Notre Dame de Fourvière Church, Lyon, France I walked all over Lyon alone in two days. When I read "The Little Prince" as a teenager, I felt that the story was full of loneliness. When I came to the hometown of the little prince in person, I was melted by Lyon. When I went to Notre Dame de Fourvière Church, the Gothic and Byzantine styles were full of French colors. It happened that the believers were worshiping. I stood in the last row and watched silently. When the believers sang the gospel, I flashed back to my mind "Pray to God to be a good person for ten minutes". Overlooking the whole city of Lyon from the top of the mountain, the glittering Rhone River was flowing quietly in front of me, and the melody of the accordion was in my ears. Coming down from the top of the mountain, walking along the path, you can see houses of different colors everywhere, just like the colorful feeling of the city of Lyon. At the same time, the bells of the church followed closely. In the building of Lyon celebrity murals, I found a bakery for breakfast. The boss also sat next to me with a cup of coffee. Seeing me taking pictures, he was very enthusiastic to help me take pictures (although the pictures were not very good hahaha), but it severely shattered my inherent impression of the French. Walking all the way to the old town, while looking for postcards, I met the Little Prince at the corner. Is that you? Dear

An ancient building, it is well worth spending half a day to see, there are many great collections, the layout is very good, you won't get lost when walking, there is a very beautiful small garden, you can rest there when you are tired.

Lyon is the food capital of France, where you can eat all kinds of French food. Niujie is the food center of the food capital, with all kinds of restaurants on both sides of the narrow street. You can try something different and subvert your view of French food.

Ancient Theatre of Fourvière

Although the theater is not well preserved, with only about a quarter of its original size left, it is still in normal use. We also saw some sound and light equipment on site. It must be very exciting to be able to enjoy a performance here.

Place Bellecour

The main part of the plaza is a large red field, the largest square in Europe, which is empty at first glance, with no lawns and green trees, and only a statue of Louis XIV stands in the corner of the plaza.

Fresque des Lyonnais

Particularly interesting attraction in Lyon - Lyon murals. The most famous one is the Lyon Celebrity Wall. Every balcony on the seven-story building has celebrities, such as the inventor of the modern loom, the poet, the Michelin Samsung chef, the author of the "Little Prince", the inventor of the film Rumiel brothers, etc. - in this sense, Lyon is still electric The hometown of shadow. The murals have a strong three-dimensional sense, and these celebrities seem to live in front of you.

Place des Terreaux

Lyon's City Hall is right here on the Place des Terreaux. There aren't many tourists, but there are many locals. Lyon is also the food capital of France, and there are many food options near the square. It's also nice to have a meal nearby at noon.

Parc de la Tete d'Or

野枫印象
Located in Lyon, France, Parc de la Tête d'Or was opened in 1857 and covers an area of ​​117 hectares. It is a city park in Lyon and one of the largest and most beautiful parks in France. The name "Tête d'Or" comes from the legend that a golden head of Jesus Christ was buried here. The park was designed by Denis and Eugène Buller and is truly the "Lungs of Lyon".
