Sightseeing in Lyon, France part.2

#Let'sGoOverseas The old town, which spreads along the Saône River, continues with medieval streetscapes from the 15th to 17th centuries. [Cathedral Saint-Jean (Lyon Cathedral)] There is also a magnificent cathedral here. It is famous for the beautiful stained glass rose window in the center of the front and the 14th century astronomical clock, said to be the oldest in Europe. On a fine day, the sunlight that shines into the church through the rose window is said to be wonderful. I wanted to see it. [Optical illusion] Optical illusion, called "Trompe-l'oeil" in French, can be seen all over Lyon. A huge painting on the back wall of a building, depicting people related to Lyon such as "The Little Prince". The "Canut Mural" near Hainon Station on Croix-Rousse Hill is a particularly large optical illusion and has become a popular spot. [Place des Terreaux] Located in the center of Lyon, between the Saône and Rhône Rivers, "Place des Terreaux" served as a fortress. The Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon is adjacent to the south and the Lyon City Hall to the east, with the "Bartholdi Fountain" in the center. [Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon] It is one of the largest museums in France. There are many sculptures on display in the garden in front of the entrance. There are many works by world-famous painters on display. #Trip to Lyon #Lyon
