The Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière is one of Lyon’s most iconic landmarks, visible from almost anywhere in the city. Personally, I usually find the interiors of Orthodox churches more spiritual, but this basilica’s interior really amazed me — it’s beautiful and inspiring. The exterior is just as impressive, and the panoramic view over Lyon from the top is fantastic. You can get there easily by tram, or hike up if you prefer (which I’d also recommend). Nearby, the Roman Theatre and archaeological site are free to visit and very well preserved. Both the basilica and the ruins are definitely worth seeing.

Arriving late evening in Lyon, our Uber driver took us here on a quick detour to our hotel ‘because it is so very beautiful, and you guys can see view of Lyon skyline from there’. Indeed it was a beautiful Basilica, majestic even in the dark of night. Indeed it was an impressive view of Lyon. Very grateful of him, blessed his soul. I got the chance to go back the next morning, and although did not got the chance to go inside, my appreciation grew even more about the opportunity to visit. A must go when you are in Lyon. If your hotel is not nearby, they have tram from the city center that stops directly in front.

Beautifully located on top of a hill, and Best to take an Uber to get there. There is also a vista point on the side of the church with great views of the whole city. If you can walk down the hill, you can visit a nice museum with an outdoor Greek theatre. You can also take a short cut and walk the stairs down the hill

Lovely place to visit in Lyon. Get a day ticket for € 6.90 and couple of trains later you are there. Beautiful views of the city (sunset as well). Basilica is amazing. Don't compare it with Vatican however it is grand in its own way.

It is a marvelous place to visit even when you are not Christian. The interior of the basilica Notre-Dame of Fourvière in Lyon, is tremendously high. The walls are astonishing and it drops your mouth down to the floor. I have not taken many pictures inside because my eyes were focused on all the tiny details in each stunning things my eyes would lay eyes on. If one thing to visit in Lyon, it clearly is there and Paul Bocuse Market^^.

What a beautiful basilica one has the pleasure to see, adore and to participate because during our vist a mass was held. The church has an endless history to show, not only in the holy Christian sense but also in its rich architectural designs. A real treat to be there.

The Basilica is richly decorated inside with glowing mosaics. We were lucky enough to arrive when a choir was singing and the sound filled the church. There are explanatory plaques describing the scenes, which adds to the enjoyment. On the outside, the walls soar and are beautifully lit at night.

Really enjoyed my visit here - so many interesting exhibits and things to see. I think the best part is the fact that the films referenced and the props from the films are films that are very well-known, not just random French films. Would highly recommend to people as an activity in Lyon, however my one small issue was that we bought tickets in advance but still had to line up in the same queue as everyone else, so buying a ticket in advance was fairly pointless, only decreased the price slightly. But other than that really loved it.

AMAZING! I think should be a must do when you visit Lyon with kids or just if you like movies and a different type of art. They have created incredible mini and real size scenes from movies and normal life things! A different way to know history as well! We went without tickets and ending paying less because they have a family packet. If you are 2 adults and one or more kids, it is definitely cheaper.

Worth visiting. You should go and see everything they placed in the museum. At first we enjoyed the props & artifacts from famous movies. However what we liked most is the miniature room, carefully detailed and amazinggg

Incredible and unique museum. They have some really cool pieces from films, which are still interesting to look at even if you haven’t seen them. The miniature section was a good surprise also—they are so detailed and realistic! While it is a bit on the more expensive side, it’s worth it and it is an independent business.

Walking through this museum felt like stepping straight back into my childhood (I was born in the mid-80s), and it was nothing short of magical. From Star Wars to Batman 1989, from Aliens to Beetlejuice, the collection is packed with iconic treasures that instantly spark memories of the films that defined an era. According to one of the staff, the Darth Vader mask here is the only original one on public display today, that alone is worth the visit! What sets this place apart is how personal it feels. I love the great art museums of France, but this was different, so much more relatable. Every piece triggered a wave of nostalgia, reminding me of movies I adored and had nearly forgotten, and reigniting the sense of wonder that first made me fall in love with cinema. These films came from the golden age of moviemaking, where practical effects and early CGI blended to create timeless magic that today’s movies rarely capture. Seven floors are filled with cinematic history, and while you can see it all in about 1–2 hours, it’s the kind of place where you’ll want to linger at your favorites. For me, highlights included the Darth Vader helmet, the full Batman 1989 suit and vehicles, the wonderfully complete Beetlejuice exhibit, and the jaw-dropping animatronic Alien that makes you feel like you’re right on set. Seeing Thor’s hammer (Mjolnir), Iron Man’s glove, and nods to classics like Indiana Jones, Mrs. Doubtfire, Jumanji, The Mask, and even Fast & Furious only added to the thrill. If you grew up with movies from the late 80s through the early 2000s, this museum is pure nostalgia wrapped in cinema magic. It’s a time machine back to Saturday nights at the theater or trips to Blockbuster, and it will leave you smiling long after you leave. I can’t recommend it highly enough. As a bonus, all the staff that work there are friendly, knowledgeable and passionate! Update: the top floor which houses the miniatures was closed when we arrived for renovations. If this is important to you, come back when they are completed.

fantastic experience! is very interesting and fun, perfect for people who loves cinema! staff is very friendly and they speak english very well so its perfect for tourists. there is a toilette in every floor, and also a dog bowl! i enjoyed it a lot!!

As someone also work behind the magic, visiting this musuem is like a dream, from costume to props, set to figures… You can’t miss this, this is prob is the best musuem I’ve seen about cinema, movies. The visit was like a dream come true, from my fav movie Mary Poppins from 1964, to Jurassic world, kill bill to Beetlejuice, alien to Spider-Man! Last the not least, the Wes Anderson section, with some movie items and making off?! Seriously I’m so glad I come to Lyon for this!

When I visited it was a free admission day. The museum is impressive, good quality exemplars , exhibition are for every age. On the roof they have a nice cafe and you can enjoy the view from the top.

This is by far the best museum I have been to. The exhibition, the design and the presentation are very modern and easy to digest. Plan plenty of time. We spent almost 5 hours here and it was not enough.

If you’ve ever wanted to touch both a meteorite AND a fossil without getting kicked out of a museum, this is your chance. Don’t hesitate. A brilliant museum all around: science, history, culture & more. There’s something for everyone.

very intresting and informative visit. All the exbits well explained in French and English. the building itself is cool. Do go to the 4th floor and admire the views. They had a information set on my name and saint i was named after

Very interesting museum! Zombies one of the temporary exhibitions was the highlight. Also nice building inside out

Interesting permanent and temporary exhibitions with lots of interactive elements - especially liked the Species wing of the permanent exhibits. Ticket price was reasonable (12 Euros) and the 4th floor outside terrace views are worth the price of admission! Oh yeah, and it has the most innovative shape for a museum!

As an international student in Lyon, the Musée des Confluences was one of the first cultural places I visited, and it left a deep impression on me. Located at the very tip of the Presqu’île, where the Rhône and Saône rivers meet, the building itself already feels like an exhibition. Its futuristic design of glass and steel, shaped almost like a spaceship, contrasts beautifully with the calm flow of the rivers around it. Arriving there by tram, I remember staring at the architecture for several minutes before even thinking about going inside. The museum’s interior is vast and modern, with open spaces and creative lighting. What fascinated me most was the diversity of the exhibitions: from natural history with dinosaur skeletons, to anthropology with objects from ancient civilizations, to thought-provoking displays about humanity’s future. Walking through the halls felt like traveling across time and space in just a few hours. As a student, I loved how the museum connected science, culture, and philosophy in one narrative. It wasn’t only about learning facts but about questioning our place in the world. One highlight for me was the section on world cultures, where artifacts from Asia, Africa, and the Americas were displayed with context and respect. Seeing familiar objects from my own region alongside items from distant lands gave me a sense of belonging in the global story. Another favorite was the giant mammoth skeleton and the room about evolution, which reminded me of childhood curiosity but presented in a much more sophisticated way. The museum also offers spaces to rest, like the panoramic windows that open toward the river. Sitting there with classmates, discussing what we had just seen, was as enjoyable as the exhibitions themselves. The rooftop terrace is another gem, giving one of the best views of Lyon’s two rivers joining. It’s a peaceful spot to take photos or simply reflect. Of course, as a student, I appreciated the reduced entry fee, which made the visit affordable. I ended up buying the annual pass, knowing I would want to return multiple times. And I did — each visit revealed new details, new temporary exhibitions, and new questions to think about. If I have to mention downsides, I’d say the museum can get very busy during weekends, especially with families and school groups. At times it felt a little overwhelming, and reading every explanation panel was almost impossible. Also, the restaurant inside is quite expensive, so I usually bring a snack or eat somewhere nearby instead. But these are minor issues compared to the richness of the experience. For me, the Musée des Confluences is not just a museum; it is a bridge between past, present, and future, between cultures and sciences, between Lyon and the wider world. Every time I go, I leave with both new knowledge and new questions. As an international student trying to understand my place in a new country, this museum feels like the perfect symbol: it embraces diversity, curiosity, and dialogue. It has become one of my favorite places in Lyon, a spot I recommend to every friend who comes to visit.

The service was excellent, but unfortunately, the chocolates were too sweet for my taste.

In my quest to find the best macaron in Lyon I systematically tried a macaron at each shop in the food hall. Sève’s were by far the best, with my favourites being 1) Caramel 2) Coconut 3) Coffee. I must’ve gone back 3-4 times in one day. They are quite expensive, which meant I could only afford to try 8, but this is reflected in the quality. The staff were lovely and very accommodating of my terrible French. Merci!

The pastries are so pretty, it feels almost guilty to eat them. Nonetheless, I ate them. I ordered the chocolate mousse one and I was thinking of getting more but it's so rich that I was very full at the end. I'd like to go back and more of the pastries. There were dozens and dozens!

This is a nice indoor market. It has quite different atmosphere to la boqueria market in Barcelona. Both of them are great place to see and eat. But, this market has unique features like quiet and less crowded. Local fruits, cured meat , and seafood were excellent. My wife and I enjoyed cured meat and varieties of seafood, oysters, sea urchins, shrimps, and clams. They know how to sell and packages cured meat. One of stores used a vacuum sealed package for cured meat. We felt safe to carry them. All of staffs were friendly and kind. One of members even made a luxury restaurant reservation for us. I think that they know good local restaurants because they are the food suppliers.

Even if you are not a gourmand, I totally recommend this place if you want to have a true Lyonnais experience. The food smells and tastes excellent and the cakes and cookies are amazing.

So many choice- and none of them are wrong! Had fresh oysters- and when I say fresh I mean that they tasted as if plucked out of the ocean! Served with a friendly smile and quick service. 10 out of 10 will be going back!

Must visit.. Big Like, some seafood restaurants need a reservation, good prices.. Has everything 😍

Amazing ruins to check out within a close walk from the Cathedral nearby. Unfortunately, we did not have the time to explore the inside of the museum, and since we were heading to Rome it seemed appropriate to postpone anthing Roman to our later trips. The ruins themselves however, still are able to immerse you in history and come alive as you walk through them.

A place to marvel, was for the community back then, still is now (so I heard). Will be wonderful to be part of activities here, but even just a quick stop on the way back from the Basilica already gave me glimpses of stories this awesome place has. Basking in the morning sun, this open air theater sure is special. Do visit the museum if you have the chance.

Very easy to get to using the funicular which was about 2 EURO, one stop from the town cathedral. The ruins are open for people to just wander around and take photos, there is a museum that I did not go into. From there it's a short walk trip the basilica and the amazing views from there. You can also walk from there back to the old town which includes a very long and steep staircase.

Walking through the theatre feels like stepping back in time, with its impressive stone seating, partially intact stage, and gentle slopes inviting exploratio. The site is remarkably well preserved, allowing visitors to walk freely among the ruins and soak up the atmosphere where audiences once gathered for performances nearly two thousand years ago.

The Ampitheatre was still in good condition considering how old it is. There are a lot of modern overlays here as the space is used for events etc. I think it would be an amazing venue. Go to the museum which tells the story of how Lyon was founded by the Romans. The Ampitheatre is so out in the open and there is no shade so be careful on hot days. You can look at the Ampitheatre for free but the museum has an entry fee.

It was free! Spectacular. Museum €7 per adult well worth a visit. Tells the srory of Lyon...many artifacts from times past. What an amazing thing to have on your city

I was sad to see that the theater's preserved ruins are so limited. The modern extension on the lower part built for concerts and other events is unsuitable and doesn't complement the original site. As someone who respects heritage, I believe it's a missed opportunity. They could have completed the space in a much better way that truly aligns with the importance of the original site, keeping it alive while honoring its history.

Very interesting. I'd suggest everyone to visit with a guide to better understand the history of the city

Traboules in Lyons medieval town fantastic to find and lovely to walk through

best place i have visited

(Translated by Google) I don't have enough words to describe this neighborhood (where I live) and its traboules. You can get lost for days without difficulty. We talk about the history of the city but also the great History of France. To be done obligatory. (Original) Je n’ai pas assez de mots pour décrire ce quartier (ou je vis) et ses traboules. Vous pouvez vous perdre durant des jours sans difficultés. Nous parlons de l’histoire de la ville mais de la grande Histoire de France également. A faire de façon obligatoire.

(Translated by Google) Lyon is a beautiful and historic city to explore on foot! Souvenir and specialty shops! Great little restaurants, "petits bouchons"! (Original) Lyon ville magnifique et historique à faire à pied ! Magasins de souvenirs et spécialités ! Génial Bon petits restaurants ‘´ petits bouchons !

(Translated by Google) Very pretty districts of Lyon, Saint Jean of course with the square, the Cathedral, the pedestrian streets, the traboules to discover, the restaurants and shops. The funicular to go up to Fourvière and the Basilica, magnificent view of Lyon and its surroundings, then possibly go back down on foot. And don't forget the Saint Georges district, less touristy, but which also has its charm. (Original) Très jolis quartiers de Lyon , Saint Jean bien sûr avec la place, la Cathédrale, les rues piétonnes, les traboules à découvrir, les restaurants et boutiques . Le funiculaire pour monter à Fourvière et la Basilique, magnifique vue de Lyon et ses environs, puis redescendre éventuellement à pied . Et ne pas oublier le quartier Saint Georges ,moins touristique, mais qui a aussi son charme.

(Translated by Google) A pleasant tour of the traboules, but difficult to access for people with reduced mobility who want to visit alone. A companion is required to push open the heavy doors. This is despite the ones indicated by the Lyon Tourist Office. Not all of them are left open. (Original) Sympathique visite des traboules mais difficilement accessibles aux PMR qui voudraient faire la visite seul. Accompagnant obligatoire pour pousser les lourdes portes. Et malgré celles indiquées par l'Office de tourisme de Lyon. Elles ne sont pas toutes laissées ouvertes.

Probably the best fine arts museum in France outside of Paris. Not the Louvre or Musée d'Orsay obviously, but keeps very solid collection of paintings including famous artists from Jan Brueghel, Rubens and Tintoretto to the impressionists. But it also has a lot of magnificent works of local artist like Auguste Flandrin and Louis Janmot. The latter, a pupil of Ingres and fantastic graphist, has a whole room dedicated to his whole life project - The poem of the soul. Don't miss it. There is not a lot of people here. Even on week-ends the rooms are usually half empty and you can find a moment when you're alone in there facing the paintings.

Super impressive! They have an incredible amount of ancient artifacts, art, crafts and carved walls. Great paintings and lots of sculptures. The modern art was a bit of a letdown-very monotonous.

A very nice museum in a grand old building. The gardens as you come in are very peaceful compared to the square just out front. We got in using our Lyon city card but the entry price is pretty cheap for such a large museum. You might be waiting a little if you haven't pre bought tickets but I would say no more than 10mins. Some amazing works of art by some of the biggest names. The building itself is laid out well and some of the rooms are hosting monumentally sized pieces. There is a cafe on the first floor with some excellent varieties of eclair. Enjoy them on the balcony if the weather is nice. Even though it was a hot day when we went out was shady and a lovely place to relax.

Very nice museum. They offer free passes for all people with disabilities, which is very inclusive. Good selection of works, there are even some Monet paintings! There is a beautiful garden outside, you can tell someone is putting a lot of work into keeping it this way. There are several bathrooms around the building, which is good for older people. I loved the diversity of exhibitions and how easy it is to get to the place (it’s in the centre of Lyon). Good experience!

A substantial and eclectic collection of art and antiquities. The building itself is rather grand with a tranquil quadrangle with fountain. There is usually an admission charge but sometimes entry is free. The first floor cafe is excellent and has an outdoor terrace.

This place will have you walked off your feet. Every kind of artistic expression since the Egyptians. Especially strong on ceramics. Not to be missed.

Beautiful Museum. Sculpture gallery exceptional. Café charming with outdoor seating overlooking lovely garden at the entrance to museum. Definitely worth a visit.

The square is very large and was pretty dusty and with next to no shade in the middle. I'm sure this space would be will use for events etc. Around the edges are yes lined walkways which was welcome in the summer heat. The Lyon tourism centre is here for those looking for help or interested in getting a city pass (you can pick them up here if you buy online). In one corner is the statue celebrating 'the Petit Prince'. There are also several fountains on one side which seemed very popular with young families looking to cool off.

Nice open hangout place in Lyon City center, Mersmerising views on all sides from the center, can walk from Perrache stop within 10 minutes or get the metro directly from anywhere in the city. Many public events are conducted here and definitely a place to be during festive evenings in lyon.

Place Bellecour is a must-visit landmark in the heart of Lyon and one of the largest public squares in France. This vast open space—framed by elegant architecture and bustling with local life—serves as a central hub for the city, where history and modern rhythm collide. The square’s centerpiece is the striking equestrian statue of Louis XIV, poised grandly atop his horse. Though the square feels monumental in scale, the statue adds a distinct focal point and reminds visitors of Lyon’s deep-rooted ties to French history.

It was very hot when we visited and the place just collects the heat. Though super nice that the silk-decoration spread some cool water and provided shade.

Legendary Square in the Hyper Centre of Lyon This is a really nice 'place' probably one of the largest in France. It is super big and has a few historical points, like status, gardens etc. All very grand and obviously the place is surrounded by nice cafés, restaurants, & shops.

famous big square, pity there were construction works near the statue hindering a decent photo

Nice place crowdy sometimes in Lyon city. I appreciate to visit this place and take sone pictures

The cathedral was a welcome surprise during our visit to Lyon. Despite not being as well known as some of the other cathedrals in France, it did not fail to amaze. The architecture is amazing, particularly the gilded gold on the inside of the main mass area. We came on Sunday during mass and had to wait outside for a bit while service was taking place. You can also go from the backside towards the inner chamber for a different look at the inside of the cathedral of underneath which was quite nice.

Holy sacred cathedral where construction began in 1175 dedicated to Saint John the Baptist. The architecture is beautifully complimented by brilliant colorful stained glass depicting various moments in Christianity. The kaleidoscope of colors wash over your mind, body, and soul. The Grace of God fills every corner of the cathedral.

The Cathedral is just located opposite a nice square of old Lyon town. Upon entering one grazes over a beautiful place not only to have a prayer as well to enjoy the splendour of architectural greatness.

We did not need to buy timers! It is free to enter. It was beautiful for those who likes the cathedral. I was impress with the astrological clock. How interesting is people mixed religious with astrology without any taboos or superstitions, just an a science! Also from there you could see another cathedral! Really pretty at the top of the mountain. In fact a list of artist were sitting outside drawing the tío cathedral!

This Roman Catholic church was built in almost 300 years between the end of the 12th century and the end of the XV century. The main reason to visit it is the beautiful astronomical clock from the XVII century, that indicates the date and the position of the planets and stars.

Visiting Saint-Jean Cathedral in Vieux Lyon was one of the most memorable moments of my student life in France. Unlike modern Lyon, the cathedral feels like stepping back into the Middle Ages. Its Gothic façade is stunning, with detailed stone carvings and a peaceful square in front where locals and tourists gather. Inside, the atmosphere is quiet and almost timeless; the stained-glass windows and the astronomical clock left me in awe. I often go there not only as a tourist but also as a student looking for calm between classes. The neighborhood around the cathedral is equally charming, full of small cafés and cobbled streets. While entry is free, the sense of history and spirituality is priceless. For me, Saint-Jean is more than just a religious site — it’s a place to slow down, reflect, and feel connected to Lyon’s centuries-old soul.

Absolutely unforgettable experience for me and my mum because we didn’t have any expectations and then we got a brilliant. We spent 40 minute just enjoying the church and we were really glad to visit it

Not suitable for everyone who has already seen the bigger brother in Hamburg. Absolutely no comparison: Mini World lacks details, originality and quality: no weathering, even 300 yr old buildings look like newly constructed, some walls have even been cut out of printed paper. The cars are mostly 1:1 bought and often misplaced. There is hardly any motion: nearly no car moves, maybe 2 or 3 trains are in motion. Weird arrangements of things (see photos): lego buildings, bought toy robots etc. A lot is not working: trains stand still, half of the button functions is not working or so unspectacular that you don’t realize it. Light flashes where it shouldn‘t. At night all lights are either on or off, no realistic gradual light changes. Only plus was the newly added Jurassic Park model which was built with a bit more love. A lot is not working at

We absolutely loved this! Two adults and a kid, the kid was running around trying to find little Mr Men whilst we were entranced looking for the film, TV and popular culture references. I could have spent hours there, I was captivated by it all, genuinely a brilliant excursion and something we'll do again the next time we return to Lyon

Always amazing, both temporary and permanent exhibits. Annual pass with kids ages 4 and 6 and we go every few months and they love it more each time!

Absolutely amazing place. Suitable for kids from 7 to 90 Take the "backstage" tour. You will never see these type of thing with the same eyes.

One if the few things that a whole family can enjoy. It is made really nice with a lot of small details. I really recommend!

Myself and my kids loved this small, quirky museum. You could easily spend a long time here because there are so many details to explore. The creators of the mini worlds have a brilliant and bonkers sense of humour - some of the scenes are hilarious with random penguins, dinosaurs and monkeys scattered around, and people in compromising situations. An added bonus is the 3d cinema showing 2 short films. Free entry with the Leon City Card. Also very quiet - probably because it's a bit out of the city centre.

Lyon's mini world proves to be an astonishing experience. The level of enjoyment it provided surpassed my expectations. It serves as an excellent destination for individuals of all ages, catering to both children and adults alike. The meticulous attention to detail in every little piece is commendable, and an added delight lies in discovering renowned characters discreetly concealed amidst the crowd, a delightful endeavor for visitors.

Definitely worth the short walk from La Maison des Canute! Amazing the perspective of the mural and it's size

A lovely mural that is extensively detailed. I've heard that the mural is occasionally touched up to age the people in it, which is great attention to detail. We enjoyed checking this out and looking closely at the different parts of it!

The Mur is astonishing to witness. If you have a quick 30 minutes in Lyon, I would highly recommend dropping by this location. While there is not much to do here, it does provide a great spot for photos as well as to simply marvel at if you’re a fan of large-scale art projects like this.

If you visit Lyon, this is definitely a must-see spot. The murals are large and full of character, making them really fun to look at. It’s also a great place to take photos!

Wonderful mural painted with the trompe-l’oeil technique by CitéCréation, a group of artists that made also the Fresque des Lyonnais mural. It was created in 1987 and depicts ordinary life scenes of the La Croix-Rousse neighborhood, but it has been renovated a few times to keep up with the changes happening in the city.

Such a great work of art, the details are amazing and no matter how much you look at it you can still find something you haven't noticed before

Cool place, if you’re out for a walk, walk through and take a look..

Place des Terreaux is one of Lyon’s most vibrant and historically rich squares, nestled between the Hôtel de Ville (City Hall) and the Musée des Beaux-Arts. With its lively atmosphere, striking architecture, and cultural significance, it’s a natural gathering spot and a favorite among both locals and visitors. At the heart of the square stands the dramatic Bartholdi Fountain, a masterpiece of bronze sculpture featuring a chariot pulled by four wild horses—designed by the same artist who created the Statue of Liberty. The fountain alone is worth the visit, offering a powerful sense of movement and expression.

Worth to visit by sightseeing, only 10 minutes and you can go to the museum. Beware your pocket as well.

Place des Terreaux is one of Lyon’s most iconic squares. The atmosphere is vibrant, surrounded by historic buildings, cafés, and the impressive Bartholdi Fountain at its center. It’s a perfect spot to sit, relax, and enjoy the local vibe—especially in the evening when the square is beautifully lit. A must-visit for anyone exploring Lyon’s old town and cultural heart.

The architecture of the buildings is truly worth seeing. The entire square is surrounded by very old and elaborately decorated buildings. On the square are cafes and restaurants, ideal for taking in the whole artwork.

The place des Terreaux with the majestic city hall of Lyon is a great photo subject. And it is just nice to sit at the fountain in front of it and to see people walking by. The square with its view onto the city hall is one of the most well-known landmarks of Lyon.

Nice architecture surrounding the square. The highlight is the Fountain depicting Amphitrite, Greek Goddess of the sea. It is an impressive sculpture.

Nice square in downtown area. Also a cool fountain in the middle of the square. Worth stopping for a bit if you’re in the area

A very beautiful, quite real feeling that those personalities are standing there. Even the impression that you can walk inside, hahaha. I definitely recommend it for watching.

This beautiful mural was painted by CitéCréation collective in 1995 and represents 24 historical characters of Lyon, like Antoine de Saint-Exupéry or Lumiere Brothers and 5 contemporary characters, like Paul Bocuse. The mural is on the back wall of the building on a quite narrow street, so it's difficult to take a full picture of it.

Impressive painting, don’t forget the both sides as well!

A must-visit place. Very beautiful and impressive

What a beautiful building to see! 😍

I just know a few people but it was fun to learn Lyon.

Incredible level of detail at this impressive mural of many notable people from Lyon. Highly recommend as visit! There's also another huge library mural nearby at Rue de la Platiere.
