  • 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.
