Just 30 minutes away from Lyon is the impressive and fascinating city of Vienne, a city of 30 000 inhabitants, which is not to be missed. In august 2022, the Telegraph newspaper wrote about Vienne "the beautiful french city that no one has heard of". That is true that Vienne is very beautiful and very unknown, shadowed by the presence of Lyon nearby. The city is older than Lyon and it is for all heritage lovers : there are more Roman remains (the temple, the theatre, the odeon. . . ) and also the best gallo-roman museum in France. It is UNIQUE in France ! The city was also known as "Holy city" in the Middle Ages and has kept very interesting churches. Vienne is also a lovely and charming city, it is now an invitation to relax, to enjoy a coffee while admiring the Roman temple, to listen to a nice concert in the Roman theatre in summer during "jazz a vienne festival", or to enjoy one of the largest markets in France.
To go there from Lyon is very easy : 30 minutes with the train ! This tour can start in front of Vienne train station or any other place at your convenience. My advice is to start on top of Pipet Hill to embrace a full view of the city. - Walk down the hill and see the Roman theatre and Cybele's Garden - Very nice walk through the city centre to discover the St Maurice's Cathedral, the Roman temple, the painted wall, the shopping street. . . During the tour, let's have a stop in a bar to taste local specialities (such as Côte-Rotie wine. . . . ). - Then cross the river Rhone and visit the archeological site and Roman museum.
