Overview of your Lyon tour:

Fourvière Hill is the place where Lyon was founded in 43 B. C. The ancient Roman theaters are among the most important remains of Roman period still visible nowadays, bearing witness to a time of greatness of "Lugdunum", as the city was named in those times. Fourvière Hill also offers a unique panoramic view of the city, where we can understand the strategical location of Lyon, not only as one of the most important Roman colonies, but also as the "Capital of the Gauls". Today, the Hill is crowned with the splendid "Basilica of Our Lady of Fourvière", a major monument, representing the importance of religious history and faith in Lyon from Middle-Ages until Modern times. During this tour, we will also explore the "Old Town", the Medieval and Renaissance district of Lyon, visiting Saint-John's Cathedral, its narrow and picturesque streets and secret passageways called "traboules", learn about Lyon's gastronomy, and admire some rich palaces and their breath-taking courtyards.
