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.

We took the cable car up the mountain, and when we got off the cable car, we found ourselves standing in front of the church. After visiting the church, we found a place similar to a small garden, where we could have a cup of coffee while overlooking the city below the mountain.
Fourvière Hill is located on the outskirts of Lyon. It is very convenient to go there because it is a good place to overlook the old city, but it is a bit blocked by trees. There is a cable car to the mountain, and the view is really open.

The main part of Place Bellecour is a large piece of red land. As the largest square in Europe, it looks a bit empty at first glance. There is no lawn or green tree. Only a statue of Louis XIV stands in a corner of the square.
I still recommend everyone to go, after all, it is one of the few large squares in Lyon. It is very spacious, and there are many restaurants around. Many citizens come back to the square to walk at night. The Ferris wheel on the main square is amazing! My boyfriend and I came at night and rode the Ferris wheel together. The student ticket is 9 euros per person. You can overlook the night view of Lyon. It will rotate about 5 times, and it will stay at the highest point for a short time for people to take pictures on the last circle. It is really beautiful and romantic to see the night view from the Ferris wheel.
