Lyon is a city of history and culture whose strategic position has shaped its destiny for more than 2,000 years. From the Fourvière district, birthplace of the Roman Lugdunum, to the slopes of the silk district Croix Rousse, from Vieux Lyon in medieval and Renaissance architecture to the Presqu'Île (the peninsula) that developed in the 19th century, Lyon offers a unique architectural, social, cultural and historical diversity. The city has frequently played a major role in the political, cultural and economic development of Europe. To walk through these neighborhoods is to relive a rich history. As Lugdunum was once the capital of Gaul, Lyon is now the capital of painted walls, puppet theater, silk and gastronomy.

Autorenporträt

A word from the author

Visiting a Unesco World Heritage site is more than just simple tourism.
It's a journey toward the discovery of cultures, history and nature.
It's the opportunity to explore places that have contributed to the construction our history and our humanity, and that protect this heritage even today.
It's the experience of being enriched by the collective universal memory that helps us understand the world around us.

The sites on the World Heritage of Humanity list all have one thing in common: their universal nature. They teach us that the world since antiquity has been fashioned by often commercial crossroads encouraging cultural, scientific and religious fusions. They teach us that openness to others and exchange are indeed sources of prosperity for all societies.

To travel to the heart of these World Heritage sites is to choose to embark on an ethnological, anthropological, sociological, historical, architectural, cultural or religious voyage ... or all this at once! In short, it represents a tourism based on tolerance among civilizations and on respect for future generations.

Let's protect our fragile universal heritage. And let's pass it on to our children.
