About About the place

La Renaissance Du Vieux Lyon is a captivating district within Lyon's Old Town, celebrated for its remarkably preserved Renaissance architecture. This area, once the heart of Lyon's silk industry, features narrow, cobblestone streets, vibrant squares, and a network of 'traboules' – secret passageways used historically by silk workers and, during WWII, by the Resistance. Today, it's a bustling area filled with boutiques, restaurants, cafes, and historical landmarks, offering a glimpse into Lyon's rich past. The Italianate architectural style is a notable feature, setting it apart from other parts of France.

We took on this cruise which offers the best views of the city from the water and provides lots of photo ops for you. The city looks so magical especially if you travel at night. The twinkling lights and the night view of the city is mesmerizing and we were able to click so many pictures to preserve our memorable time. It was awesome.

The cathedral is hundreds of years old and has a magnificent architecture. The murals and the walls are simply stunning. We got a chance to witness the prayer ceremony and it was divine. Do visit this place and do enjoy it.

Do visit this place and do enjoy it.. The place is so beautiful that I could not take my eyes off it. The place is a heritage building which has stunning architecture and the Victorian style walls are simply amazing. We visited the place on a weekday and it had a lot of people.

This park is amazing and has beautiful scenery. It is a perfect spot to take a good walk or even go for a run. There is a dedicated trail, well managed in the park. The trees by the trail are just beautiful and provide a lot of good air. There are also benches in the park where you can sit and relax.
