Old Lyon is a place with rich history and culture in Lyon, France. With over a thousand years of history, this area is an excellent place to explore the history of France's third largest city. Old Lyon is particularly famous for its Renaissance architecture, and the architectural imprint of this period is particularly noticeable throughout the area.
Old Lyon, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, not only showcases the style of the Renaissance but also bears witness to the economic prosperity of the period. This historic district is divided into three distinct areas: Saint-Jean, Saint-Georges, and Saint-Paul. Each neighborhood has its own unique character and history.
The Saint-Jean neighborhood is the center of the old town, famous for its Gothic-style Saint-Jean Cathedral, as well as its many stone-paved alleys and Tuscan-style courtyards.
The Saint-Georges neighborhood is the birthplace of the silk industry and has many famous alleys and hidden passages that were once widely used by merchants.

Located in Lyon, France, Parc de la Tête d'Or was opened in 1857 and covers an area of 117 hectares. It is a city park in Lyon and one of the largest and most beautiful parks in France. The name "Tête d'Or" comes from the legend that a golden head of Jesus Christ was buried here. The park was designed by Denis and Eugène Buller and is truly the "Lungs of Lyon".
It is a very beautiful park with a very large lawn and many small animals. The French like to lie on the grass in the park to bask in the sun. There are many cute children running and playing on the lawn.
