Perched on a hill overlooking Lyon, the Fourvière basilica is an architectural and spiritual gem. Built in the 19th century, it impresses with its richly decorated interior and panoramic views of the city.

The Big Rock

Highlight • Other

The Boulevard de la Croix-Rousse opens on the east side into a pleasant esplanade where 'Le Gros Caillou' has stood firmly in place for centuries. A huge boulder that was pushed up by a glacier during the Ice Age. Unfortunately, the rock has now been covered with graffiti tags.

Passage Mermet

Highlight • Monument

The Passage Mermet has been transformed into a fantastic blue-yellow-white staircase with organic plant motifs. The Belgian street art maker WENC, together with residents of the district, tackled this narrow passage in 2019 as part of the renovation of the urban space.
You can also find numerous street art works there. An unmissable unknown spot in the city.

Rue Saint-Jean

Highlight • Restaurant

The old part of Lyon is full of traditional restaurants on Rue Saint-Jean. Touristy, but still very rustic and comfortable.

Saint-Jean Cathedral

Highlight • Historical Site

Saint John the Baptist (Saint Jean Baptiste), to whom the cathedral of Lyon is dedicated together with Saint Stephen (Saint Etienne), is – like Saint Joseph – a man on the threshold between the Old and the New Testament. His parents are Zechariah and Elisabeth. After the proclamation of God's incarnation, the Mother of God visits her relative Elisabeth, who will give birth to a son in old age, John the Baptist. This is half a year older than Jesus and is considered his forerunner / pioneer. He lives in the desert, preaches the repentance of sins to the Jewish population and baptizes them in the Jordan, where Jesus also comes to be baptized, being filled with the Holy Spirit that descends on him from heaven.
The memorial day of John the Baptist (Jean Baptiste) in the calendar of saints is on June 24th, exactly half a year before 'Christmas Eve'.

Old Lyon

Highlight • Settlement

Old Lyon is an enchanting district that exudes history and charm. Its cobbled streets, medieval buildings and mysterious traboules transport visitors to another time. Strolling through its streets, admiring the colorful facades and discovering its small traditional shops is an experience in its own right. In addition, the Lyonnais Bouchons, famous for their generous and tasty cuisine, make Vieux Lyon an essential place for food lovers. Whether for its medieval atmosphere, its architectural treasures or its gastronomy, Old Lyon is a real gem to explore.
