10 Sights & Landmarks in Vieux Lyon - Quarantaine That You Shouldn't Miss
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Lyon has 2,000 years of history imprinted on its streets (yes, the cobblestone kind). Explore this history in Vieux Lyon (one of Europe's most extensive Renaissance neighborhoods) and Lyon's two Roman amphitheatres, which still stage rock concerts today. It's no wonder Lyon is a popular area for travelers, with its dynamic university, first-class shopping, antique markets, vibrant theatre and music festivals, and a range of interesting museums, such as the International Puppet Museum and the Museum of Miniatures and Film Sets. (When we say "interesting," we mean it.)

1. Maison Brochier Soieries
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 17 reviews
Since 1890 Brochier family has been handing down a tradition born in Lyon in the 16th century : manufacturing exceptional natural silk fabrics and printing artists scarves. Four generations followed one another since the creation of the factory, each of them transmitting to the next one their passion for a work that demands a permanent involvement. The silk printing technique used in our workshop is inspired by the hand screen printing. It is also called "frame printing" or "à la lyonnaise". Today, we combine the traditional techniques with the new generations of high-definition digital printing. For the napped velvet pieces, the velvet is hand painted with painbrushes. You will find here in our shop a unique collection of artists silk scarves and neck ties, Made in France: from Jérôme Bosch and Rembrandt to Picasso and Jeff Koons.

We were on a tour and the shop owner came out and explained all about how silk was made in this city. He was so much fun and let us all look at the silk worms. I wish we had more time here as I wanted to go through the shop and look around. It looked as if they had beautiful items. Such a nice guy to come out and do that for free!

The best part of Lyon: fascinating and friendly. Wander around: get lost among the charming streets, stop for a drink or food at one of the many excellent cafes and restaurants.

I love old churches. The stained glass , astronomical clock, and the statue of Christ by the altar are all worthy of a stop on your meandering walk through Lyon.
4. Traboules - Hotel Cour des Loges

Reviewed By Solarbearz
We recently visited Lyon with a Viking cruise, and stayed for several days in Lyon at its conclusion. During a Viking walking tour in the Old Town with a local guide, the guide mentioned that we would be going through one of the travoules of the city. That was a new thing for me, never having heard of them before. They are not accessible to visitors walking on their own in Lyon, so I was glad that we were with guides to get the history of the traboules and to be able to visit one. Fascinating history and an insight into the lives of the Lyonnais residents of the past. As the only way into them is with a guide, it is worth it to book a tour that includes at least one of them.

Passerelle du Palais de Justice is a lovely footbridge connecting the two banks of the Saone River, in front of the Palais de Justice. The footbridge was first constructed in the early 17th century but it was damaged or destroyed many times since then and subsequently rebuilt just as many times. The present footbridge wa built in the 1980s.
