A Mini Guide to Lyon France

Monday, December 4th, 2006
 A Mini Guide to Lyon France Lyon is a city in eastern central France. The city is the third largest in the country and it boasts a population of 1,648,216 inhabitants. Lyon is crossed by both the Saône and Rhône rivers, which converge to the south of the city centre. The city began as a Roman colony in 43BC, but it did not begin to thrive until the Middle Ages. In the 15th century the city became an international banking centre, while the 19th century saw Lyon develop as a centre for the silk trade. The city was occupied by German troops during World War II, but it was also a famous centre of resistance. Many locals managed to escape the Gestapo by using the narrow passageways (Traboules) around the city, which were originally used to transport silk. The Traboules have been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Although Lyon is a modern, bustling city, it does boast some wonderful, historic sites. The best deals on all Hotels in Lyon can be found by clicking this link. The Fourviére area is home to some stunning architecture, not least the Notre-Dame Fourviére Basilica and the beautiful Archbishop’s Palace. Equally fascinating is the area on the western bank of the Saône River, which is home to the original medieval city and has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. For nature-lovers, Lyon offers a large number of beautiful parks, not least Tête d’Or Park, which also houses a charming zoo and botanical gardens. Just 30 minutes away from the city is the stunning Pilat Nature Reserve, which is well worth a visit at any time of year. Lyon is a famed shopping heaven, and visitors should take a trip to the luxurious Carré d’Or district. For less expensive but equally charming purchases, shoppers should explore the area around Rue Victor Hugo; while shoppers looking for unique or antique items should visit the Rue Auguste Comte.
