What this site is

Twenty sights, one page each, and ten sections covering how the city actually works — the metro and the funiculars, the bouchons, the seasons, the traboules, and what genuinely needs booking.

⭐ The thesis: Lyon is three cities on one site — a Roman capital on the hill, a Renaissance city of silk and printing along the Saône, and the place France comes to eat — and it kept all three.

How it is made

This site is written and maintained with the assistance of AI, edited and fact-checked before publication. That is stated on every page in the footer, not buried here.

Photographs come from Wikimedia Commons and are credited individually on the page each one appears on, with a link to the original file and its licence.

What it will not tell you

⛔ No admission price, opening time or fare appears anywhere on this site. Those change, and the operator is the only source that is right on the day you travel.
