2/43.- Lyon, Vieux-Lyon
We will start this Photographic Tour in one of the most beautiful districts
in Lyon: 'Vieux Lyon' (=Old Lyon). This district occupies more than
24 hectares on the banks of the Saone River at the foot of the Fourviere
Hill. The visit to this district must be done on foot. This way you
will enjoy the several Renaissance restored buildings, which reflect
the prosperity the city underwent during the 16th and 17th centuries.
You should not miss the opportunity to book one of the "Traboules
Tours". The Traboules used to be passages that allowed the transportation
of the precious silk through the district's houses.
