Lyon is a vibrant city located in the Rhône-Alpes region of southeastern France. Known as the country's gastronomic capital, Lyon blends rich history, cultural sophistication, and modern dynamism. It's France’s third-largest city and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, thanks to its beautifully preserved old town (Vieux Lyon), Renaissance architecture, and ancient Roman ruins like the Amphithéâtre des Trois Gaules.
Situated at the confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers, Lyon is famous for its traboules (hidden passageways), the majestic Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière, and the scenic Presqu'île district. The city is also a hub for the arts, home to Opera de Lyon, numerous galleries, and the Institut Lumière, celebrating the birthplace of cinema.
Beyond its cultural and historical wealth, Lyon thrives as a major center for banking, biotech, and software industries, while maintaining a laid-back lifestyle with a strong emphasis on food, markets, and local traditions. Whether you're wandering through cobblestone streets, enjoying a traditional bouchon meal, or exploring the vibrant contemporary art scene, Lyon offers a perfect mix of old-world charm and forward-thinking innovation.
