Your stay in Lyon
Welcome to lyon
Learn French... in France!
About Lyon
Main gateway to the Alps, Lyon is a must. Third city in France and second metropolis in the country, Lyon has been included on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1998, and is known for its Gallo-Roman remains, its old town dating from the Renaissance called “Le Vieux Lyon” and its culinary delights. There, we can take semi-hidden passages called “traboules” which link some streets together. Very exciting!
Founded 2,000 years ago at the confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers, Lyon built its fortune on the silk trade. Lyon is also the cradle of cinema, thanks to the work of the Lumière brothers.
We can't talk about Lyon without talking about food. Some say that Lyon is the world capital of gastronomy. So you have to try some "bouchons" before leaving the town, this typical Lyon restaurant. You may know the name of our famous chef, Paul Bocuse, who has sadly passed away.
You will love walking around and discovering Lyon's cultural life and will be amazed by its wealth and the many possibilities offered by the city (23 museums, a lot of exhibitions and festivals throughout the year such as the famous Fête des Lumières, cruises on the Rhône and the Saône, cycling along the Rhône, enjoying a beer on a barge, relaxing at Parc de la Tête d'Or, etc.).
​
We will be happy to help you make the most of your stay and take you to our favorite places.
