The Old City is a real treasure you must see during your stay in Lyon. A real treat is how the colourful architecture is reflected along the Sa\u00f4ne river.\n\nIn the heart of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Old City spreads through three districts; Saint-Georges, Saint-Jean and Saint-Paul. Each district has its own unique atmosphere. Come with me and let\u2019s stroll along their narrow streets and private \"traboules\". You will discover how this area became the beating heart of Lyon during medieval times and the Renaissance period.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Whichever way you decide to climb this hill\u202f: either on foot or by cable car, this ascent is part of the Lyon experience. The Fourvi\u00e8re Hill is indeed one of the most important hills for the residents of Lyon as it is the birthplace of the Roman city! \nThanks to the Roman remains you will discover the origins of the city, but also how it developed throughout this period thanks to the most magnificent views of Lyon. \nAt the top of the hill, you will find Lyon\u2019s most emblematic monument\u202f: The basilica of Fourvi\u00e8re. For me, it is always a pleasure to see the look of surprise on visitors as they enter this jewel.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

From the top of the Croix-Rousse hill we will descend, using either the stairs or the traboules to see Lyon\u2019s city hall. Here we will find out about the silk weavers who lived in this former silk weaver district. Come with me to find out about how they lived during the 19th century, the typical architecture of their workshops and how they managed to storm city hall during the famous \u201cRevolt of the Canuts\u201d!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Croix-Rousse Hill is less visited but is also part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, it offers beautiful views of the city and has kept its village atmosphere. Street artists\u2019 graffiti still remind us of the rebellious side of the hill.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Come with me to the heart of Lyon - the Place des Terreaux, and let\u2019s push open the doors of the Palais Saint-Pierre, a former convent which today is home to the Mus\u00e9e des Beaux-Arts de Lyon. This museum takes us on a journey through time and space thanks to its chronological tour from Antiquity to modern and even contemporary art, which will allow us to discover the 2nd largest collection of Islamic art or the 2nd largest public impressionist collection in France!<\/p>\n

Did the sculptor Maillol lack chivalry when he named his sculpture of a naked woman \"The Mountain\"? Where did the Kor\u00e9 of Lyon leave her legs? Did you know that the term \"impressionist\" was originally an insult? Why did Picasso depict a woman picking her toenails? How can black be colourful?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

We will answer these questions and more!<\/span><\/p>\n
