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.

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".

Notre Dame de Fourvière Church, Lyon, France I walked all over Lyon alone in two days. When I read "The Little Prince" as a teenager, I felt that the story was full of loneliness. When I came to the hometown of the little prince in person, I was melted by Lyon. When I went to Notre Dame de Fourvière Church, the Gothic and Byzantine styles were full of French colors. It happened that the believers were worshiping. I stood in the last row and watched silently. When the believers sang the gospel, I flashed back to my mind "Pray to God to be a good person for ten minutes". Overlooking the whole city of Lyon from the top of the mountain, the glittering Rhone River was flowing quietly in front of me, and the melody of the accordion was in my ears. Coming down from the top of the mountain, walking along the path, you can see houses of different colors everywhere, just like the colorful feeling of the city of Lyon. At the same time, the bells of the church followed closely. In the building of Lyon celebrity murals, I found a bakery for breakfast. The boss also sat next to me with a cup of coffee. Seeing me taking pictures, he was very enthusiastic to help me take pictures (although the pictures were not very good hahaha), but it severely shattered my inherent impression of the French. Walking all the way to the old town, while looking for postcards, I met the Little Prince at the corner. Is that you? Dear

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.

Lyon's City Hall is right here on the Place des Terreaux. There aren't many tourists, but there are many locals. Lyon is also the food capital of France, and there are many food options near the square. It's also nice to have a meal nearby at noon.

Although the theater is not well preserved, with only about a quarter of its original size left, it is still in normal use. We also saw some sound and light equipment on site. It must be very exciting to be able to enjoy a performance here.
