Make the Most of Your Lyon Stay

Cultural layers on display

Lyon reveals 2,000 years of urban history in a way few cities can match. The UNESCO-listed Vieux Lyon district spreads across 24 hectares of Renaissance courtyards and hidden traboules—covered passageways originally built to protect silk during transport and later used by the French Resistance. The Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière commands the skyline from its hilltop perch, while below, the Ancient Theatre of Fourvière hosts summer performances in a Roman amphitheater built in 15 BC. This visible continuity from Lugdunum to modern metropolis creates an urban experience that feels both intimate and monumental.

The gastronomic capital

The city's culinary reputation is earned through centuries of tradition and innovation. Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse gathers nearly 50 premium vendors under one roof. Michelin-starred establishments range from institutions honoring Paul Bocuse to contemporary talents like Takao Takano. Traditional bouchons serve hearty Lyonnais classics in Vieux Lyon's vaulted cellars, while the Presqu'île peninsula offers everything from refined bistros to rooftop dining with river views.

Strategic positioning

La Part-Dieu serves as France's second-largest business district after La Défense, with the Rhônexpress tram connecting Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport to the main station in under 30 minutes. The integrated TCL network of 4 metro lines, 7 trams, and 2 funiculars makes navigation straightforward. Premium hotels cluster in the Presqu'île and Brotteaux neighborhoods, while the city's central location provides easy access to Beaujolais vineyards, Burgundy, and Annecy.
