Lyon's Unmissable Treasures

Lyon's history spans from its Roman foundations to the Renaissance architecture of Vieux Lyon. This collection features the Gothic Lyon Cathedral and the secret traboule passageways historically used by silk weavers. Culinary highlights include the Bernachon chocolate shop and Les Halles de Lyon – Paul Bocuse indoor market. Modern landmarks like the Opéra Nouvel and the contemporary La Confluence district contrast with the 17th-century City Hall and the 117-hectare Parc de la Tête d'Or.
