This city, which dates back to the year 43 BC, naturally boasts a heritage that its inhabitants are proud of and which they showcase by keeping it alive. The Les Nuits de Fourvière music festival in the city’s ancient theatres, and the restaurants, bookshops, art galleries, flea markets, and antique fairs in Vieux-Lyon, represent but a few examples. As most of you probably already know, the locals also love their food and encourage a certain art of living, in which the pleasures of taking a leisurely stroll, shopping, and enjoying culture are only the tip of the iceberg! It’s also very easy to escape from city life here, by enjoying the numerous activities on offer in the city’s parks and gardens, or further afield, in the Beaujolais countryside or Auvergne Rhône-Alpes region.
