Lyon | Don't miss the hometown of the Little Prince when you come to France.

⚫Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière The magnificent Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière is a minor basilica in Lyon, France. It is a unique building that combines Byzantine, Romanesque, and Gothic architectural styles. The mosaic murals and stained glass windows are beautiful and dreamy! ⚫Old Lyon Old Lyon is one of the best-preserved medieval and Renaissance neighborhoods and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Stroll along the narrow cobblestone streets, visit Saint-Jean Cathedral, and explore the traditional handicraft shops and cafes scattered throughout the neighborhood. ⚫Place Bellecour Place Bellecour is located in the center of Old Lyon and is known as the Royal Square. The most prominent feature of the square is a tall statue of Louis XIV on horseback. The details of the statue show the achievements of French sculpture at that time and the past glory of the city. ⚫Ancient Roman Theater If you pass by Lyon and have enough time, you might as well go to the ancient Roman theater in Vienne. The history of this city is 2,500 years old. The ancient Roman theater used to be an arena, which is very primitive. Concerts are held here in summer, and there are few tourists. ⚫Mur des Lyonnais Lyon is known as the city of murals. On the banks of the Saône River flowing through Lyon, there is a 7-story old building with an 800-square-meter mural on the wall. This is one of the most famous murals in Lyon, the Mur des Lyonnais. The mural depicts dozens of famous figures in Lyon's history, including the Little Prince and his author, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
