8- LYON is the second biggest city in France, a
result of its uncontrolled urban sprawl. Viewed
at high speed from the Autoroute du Soleil, the
impression it gives is of a major confluence of
rivers and roads. In fact, from the sixteenth
century silk was the city's main industry,
generating the wealth which left behind a
multitude of Renaissance buildings. - The city is now busy forging a role for itself
within a new Europe, with international schools
and colleges, the new HQ for Interpol, a recently
inaugurated eco-friendly tram system, a second
TGV station with links to the north that bypass
Paris. Most French people would find themselves
in Lyon for business rather than for recreation
it's a get-up-and-go place, not a
lie-back-and-rest one. You probably wouldn't plan
a two-week stay - as you might in Provence's
cities - but Lyon certainly has its charms.
Foremost among these is gastronomy there are
more restaurants per Gothic and Renaissance
square metre of the old town than anywhere else
on earth. While the textile museum is the second
famous reason for stopping here, Lyon's
nightlife, cinema and theatre (including the
famous Lyonnais puppets), its antique markets,
music and other cultural festivities might tempt
you to stay at least a few days. In addition it
has been long established as the home of major
biennial festivals of art and fashion. - Lyon is organized into arrondissements, of which
there are nine. A visit to Lyon will necessarily
take you into the Presqu'оle (1er and 2e
arrondissements), the area between the Rivers
Saфne and Rhфne, and you're likely to spend some
time in Vieux-Lyon (5e) on the west bank of the
Saфne, as well as the east bank of the Rhфne
(3e), including the modern development known as
La Part-Due.
