Discover Lyon: Monuments, Districts, and Specialties

At the confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers, Lyon is one of the most beautiful destinations in France. As the country’s third-largest city, it welcomes millions of visitors each year. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Lyon captivates travelers with its diverse monuments, vibrant districts, and world-renowned gastronomy.

A trip to Lyon often begins with the hill of Fourvière. From the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière, one of the city’s most iconic monuments, you can admire breathtaking views over Lyon and even the Alps on clear days. Descending from the hill brings you directly into Vieux Lyon, a true Renaissance gem and one of the city’s most visited districts.

Vieux Lyon is an absolute must-see during any stay in the city. This historic district, one of the largest Renaissance neighborhoods in Europe, is a maze of cobbled streets, colorful façades, and lively squares. Here you will find the famous traboules of Lyon, secret passageways connecting inner courtyards and bearing witness to the daily life of craftsmen in past centuries. Today, Vieux Lyon is alive with restaurants, artisans, museums, and boutiques.

Yet Lyon offers much more than its Renaissance quarter. The Presqu’île, Lyon’s cultural and commercial heart, is home to the city’s most celebrated monuments: Place Bellecour, one of the largest squares in Europe, Place des Terreaux with its Hôtel de Ville and the Bartholdi Fountain, and the Opera House. To the north, the Croix-Rousse district recalls the history of the silk workers, the canuts, and now charms visitors with its bohemian atmosphere, mural frescoes, and lively markets. To the south, the Confluence showcases the modern face of Lyon, with futuristic architecture and cutting-edge cultural spaces.

No trip to Lyon would be complete without discovering its gastronomy. Known worldwide as the capital of gastronomy, Lyon owes its reputation to its Michelin-starred chefs but also to its traditional bouchons lyonnais. These warm and convivial restaurants serve signature Lyonnais specialties such as salade lyonnaise, quenelles de brochet, tablier de sapeur, and andouillette. Cheese lovers will enjoy Saint-Marcellin or the famous “cervelle de canut,” while those with a sweet tooth will savor bugnes or the iconic pink praline tart.

For an immersion into local flavors, a visit to the Halles Paul Bocuse is essential, as well as the city’s markets such as the Croix-Rousse. Each stall reveals part of Lyon’s terroir and of French culinary heritage, from charcuterie to cheeses, wines, and pastries.

Thanks to its strategic location, Lyon is also a crossroads in France. Situated between Paris and the Mediterranean, close to both the Alps and the Massif Central, the city has always been a hub of exchanges and encounters. Today, Lyon continues to shine as a European metropolis, innovative and dynamic while remaining deeply rooted in its traditions.

To visit Lyon is to discover a city of many faces: a prestigious past in Vieux Lyon and Fourvière, cultural vitality on the Presqu’île, working-class memory in the Croix-Rousse, and a modern outlook in the Confluence. It is also to taste an unrivaled cuisine in the bouchons lyonnais, to enjoy the very best Lyonnais specialties, and to live an unforgettable stay in the heart of France.

Lyon is a city that tells its story through its monuments, its districts, and its gastronomy. Each walk, each meal, and each discovery make this French metropolis a unique destination — perfect for a weekend getaway, a city break, or a cultural journey in France.
