The advantage of having two major rivers in a city is that you can increase the number of activities. In spring, take out the oars and go rowing on the Saône! Unless you prefer to swim in the heated Rhône swimming pool. Music festivals also invade the city with Les Nuits Sonores and Les Nuits de Fourvière. But the other seasons also hide great surprises.

The Romans baptized Lyon “Lugdunum” which means “Hill of light”. A name that the city has never betrayed since in the evening, the Fourvière hill always sparkles in the dark. But that's not all. It was in Lyon that the first French film, Factory Outlet, was directed by the Lumières brothers! Like what, we never escape its history!
