Half-way between sea and mountain, northern and southernEurope, Lyon in the Rhône-Alpes region is at the foot of twohills and crossed by two water courses. Rich geographical andgeological features that in way detract from the dynamism of the City itself.
Founded by a Roman Legate in the 1st century BC, Lugdunumrapidly spread its political, economic, military and religiousinfluence and became the capital of the 3 Gauls. At the confluence of the Rhône and the Saône rivers, over the centuries, Lyon became a major European centre for the silk and textile trade, with its famous “canuts” - the weavers.
This unique collection of Gothic and Renaissance architecture isclassified as a Unesco World Heritage Site. Running along thebanks of the Saône, this 24-hectare area is home to “traboules”.Typical to the area, these passages run between the streets viathe courtyards of buildings full of architectural treasures.
Lyon became a capital of gastronomy at the beginning of the20th century. Famous for its “cuisine bourgeoise” and the morecommon habit of using offal, it is still possible to sample typicaldishes in the famous “bouchons” (traditional Lyon restaurants).
