Capital
of Gaul under the Roman Empire,
major center of culture and trading
during the Renaissance, strong
industrial breeding ground in
the nineteenth century, Lyon has
become a large European metropolis,
benefiting from the influences
that have swept across its beautiful
landscape.

Now
included on the UNESCO World Heritage
List, Lyon is categorized along
with prestigious cities such as
Venice, Prague, or Saint Petersburg.
From the Roman city of Lugdunum
to the city of today, two millenniums
have left their mark in terms
of an outstanding architectural
heritage, at the confluence of
the Rhône and Saône rivers : the
Renaissance district of Old Lyon,
which is centered around Saint
Jean Cathedral, the presqu'île
(peninsula between the two rivers),
which was shaped by the great
classical and imperial era, along
with the slopes of the Croix-Rousse,
where the silk industry thrived.
A particularly lively part of
the city, Lyon's historical area
is proof of the importance that
the city places on its heritage,
preserved and enriched over the
centuries, it is now turned towards
the future. Lyon's special affection
for nature owes to its geographic
situation. Proud of its two hills
and two rivers, the city also
boasts an extraordinary green
belt. Cooking
in Lyon is promoted to the rank
of gastronomy when man adds imagination
and a master's touch. Rather,
we should say, woman, for in Lyon
it is the "mothers", those famous
robust cooks, who gave Lyonnaise
cuisine its very special character.

The Lyonnaise potatoes
are just a sample of what they
do ! They also invented the 10
a.m. "mâchon" snack which was
a welcome break when the working
day had started at dawn. Today,
men uphold the tradition and many
local 3-star restaurants (awarded
by the Michelin Guide) carry the
banner of Lyonnaise cuisine throughout
France and the world.

No
matter what part of town you may
be in, nature is always close
at hand: the vineyards and golden
stones of the Beaujolais are only
20 minutes away. The Lyon region
abounds in parks where urbanites
can get away from it all. This
is a good time to visit Lyon
|
|
|
|
You'll
be at the heart of the place designated
by Unesco as Heritage of Humanity, where
2000 years of history unfolds under
every visitors eyes. A city still preserved,
neighborhood by neighborhood, for the
pleasure of their visitors and pride
of their people.
