About Lyon

Old Town's Renaissance buildings, festivals, and frescos light up Lyon's cultural palette. The metropolis itself can be considered a canvas with immense murals meant to impress and amuse. An intensely French city, Lyon represents a chance to immerse yourself in the French style of living—bouchons for hearty Lyonnaise food, a walk or bike ride along riverside paths every day, and français for any conversation. Lyon serves as the birthplace of cinema and nouvelle cuisine, each showcased in a local museum.
