About Lyon

Lyon is a picturesque city in the Rhones-Alps region of France which has been continuously occupied for over 2,000 years. Visitors will find different evidence of this occupation as they explore. Lyon is known for its 'painted walls' and over 100 trompe-l'oeils which can be found around the city. Visitors will enjoy a stroll around the cobbled streets of Old Lyon, found on a narrow strip along the River Saone. Here narrow Medieval and Renaissance roads and alleys can be found with 15th and 17th century buildings built by wealthy merchants.
