If you’re interested in Roman history and would like to visit a beautiful church with stunning views, then Fourvière is the neighbourhood for you.
This is the neighbourhood for you if you love the splendour of churches, monasteries and basilicas, and are interested in Roman history. You’ll find it all on Fourvière Hill. The Basilique Notre-Dame de Fourvière is richly decorated inside with gold and mosaics, and the Musée Lugdunum houses a remarkable collection of Roman archaeological finds, which offer a glimpse into life around the beginning of the Common Era. The two open-air theatres (which are free to visit) have been well preserved and are an experience in themselves. You can also enjoy breathtaking views from various spots, such as the Jardin des Curiosités.
