Although there are many restaurants and shops in the ancient old street, they do not seem to be commercialized. It is a perfect combination. There are not many people at ordinary times. There are many Michelin restaurants hidden here, and one of them is chosen. I really feel that there is a different winter. It's a small door, but it's full of delicious food. There are many stone roads in the old city. It's difficult to drag them with boxes. They will block the wheels.

Across the river from bellego square is the heart of the old town, with its ancient Cathedrale st Jean and Palais st Jean. Saint Jean cathedral was built in 1180 A.D. and completed in 1476 for three centuries. It has both Roman and Gothic styles. 13. Before the construction of Notre Dame in fuvelle mountain, it was the most magnificent church in Lyon, and it was also a bishop's church. Since its establishment, there have been 134 bishops in the parish of Lyon, which is also known as La primale Saint Jean de Lyon. Because in 1079, the Pope conferred the title of primate of Gauls on the Archbishop of Lyon, which gave him the highest legal right among all the archbishops of the whole empire. The church where the Archbishop of Lyon was stationed was called the chief Cathedral of Lyon. 13. The facade of the church is 44 meters high, with three stacked pointed arch shaped gates, the big sides in the middle are slightly smaller, the door leaves are made of walnut, and there are 280 small statues on the vault; the central part of the facade is the rose shaped stained glass large flower window completed in 1392, which is gorgeous and complicated to this day; the highest part is a huge triangular eave, and the left and right sides are respectively Ma Statues of Leah and the angel Gabriel. Entering the church, although it is not particularly grand, but the qualification is very old, high status. The great chapel is 32 meters high, 19 meters wide and 80 meters long. It is divided into three long strips by two rows of tall colonnades. There are several chapels on both sides. The Royal Chapel on the right was built in the 15th century. In 1488, cardinal Bourbon was buried here. The colonnade, keystone and vault of the Chapel were all carved with exquisite decoration effect. The chapel next to it was also built in the 15th century to commemorate St. Vincent de Paul. Next to it is the chapel of St. Raphael, built in 1495, which houses the statue of the archbishop and three paintings from the 16th to 18th centuries. On the left side near the entrance of the auditorium, there are holy water vessels, followed by Saint Anne's Chapel, Saint Joseph's Chapel, Saint heart chapel, and our priest chapel. These chapels contain a large collection of paintings from the 15th to 19th centuries. It is worth mentioning that the chapel of the priest in this church, formerly known as the chapel of jubilation, contains Raphael's original oil painting the transformation, which describes the story of Jesus' transfiguration in front of three disciples. There is a choir near the main altar. You should know that the main cathedral of Jean Saint Lyon also hosts a famous choir music school. In 999 A.D., Charlemagne, as king frank, donated money to Saint Jean's Cathedral at that time to establish a music school. Since then, it has been uninterrupted. It has a history of more than 1000 years and is the oldest Music Institute in Lyon. Therefore, music performance is one of the characteristics of the chief Cathedral of Saint Jean in Lyon.

Coming to the Cathedral of Notre Dame, the shape of the church is very similar to the castle. From 1168 to 1170, a chapel was built to worship the Virgin Mary. After that, it underwent demolition, reconstruction and expansion. In 1870, the Prussian army surrounded Lyon. Lyon was in danger. Lyon citizens and the Archbishop of Lyon prayed to the Virgin Mary. They hoped that the Prussian army would not enter the city. If the Virgin Mary could show her spirit and avoid the destruction of the Prussian army, the Virgin Mary would be expanded to thank her. The prayer of the people of Lyon finally came true, so Lyon decided to build the cathedral to thank the virgin for her kindness again. Michelle, an angel with strong body, is wearing armor and holding a long spear on the top of the church. Since then, the church has become the symbol of the Virgin Mary, the patron saint of Lyon. It combines the Byzantine and medieval styles, with various complex and beautiful sculptures. Now we see the image of Notre Dame after its expansion in 1872. It was designed and built by the architect Pierre Posey between 1872 and 1884. The church is 66 meters long, 19 meters wide and 27 meters high. It has an interesting nickname "upside down elephant," which refers to its eclecticism at the end of the 19th century. The four corners of the church are four majestic towers, representing power, justice, self-control and prudence. The gilded statue of the virgin on the right was built in 1852 and placed on the top of the belfry of the old church on the anniversary of the immaculate sin of the virgin, December 8. That night, people of Lyon lit lights to illuminate the whole city. Since then, on this day of every year, every family in Lyon will light a candle beside the window to express their gratitude to the virgin. The stone of the church was transported from Italy, and the carving was also done by Italians. In front of the Church of Notre Dame are the dead papal sculptures entering the church. Those exquisite buildings and decorative arts are admired by people. The church itself epitomizes the endless fanaticism of decoration that dominated the Christian Architecture in France at the end of the 19th century. The top of the church is painted with a uniform diamond lattice. These small lattices cover the top of the church. They look like a huge square array. Between the lattices are green and bright background colors. Under the light, they reflect the light. Some metal texture. In the middle of each dome, there is a huge painting with the same shape and size. The bottom color of the painting is the same blue, solemn and harmonious. The characters in each painting are different. Maybe they are all gods in the Bible. In the middle of the dome, there are four golden angel statues all around the round decoration. The uniform and exquisite decoration extends from the entrance of the church to the main altar. The main altar of the church is dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Describe the local religious events and important religious figures in Lyon. The new bishop who is standing by the river is welcomed by a boat. He is also the first bishop of Lyon. The colored windows of the church are painted with religious stories. The light through the windows should indicate the existence of the soul with the ever bright lights. When the priest in the church heard that we were from Shanghai, he led us to a picture of the Virgin Mary and told us that it was also from Shanghai. As soon as I saw it, I knew it was Sheshan Notre Dame church. Light a candle to pray for your child. The old church and the Cathedral are interlinked. There are many sculptures of the Virgin Mary around. They should come from all over the world. A beautiful statue of the holy water basin. You can go down the stairs. There is a passage directly into an underground chapel. The magnificent ground part of the church is dedicated to the Virgin Mary of his mother, and the dark underground part is dedicated to Saint Joseph, his adoptive father. The reliefs on the walls tell the story of the crucifixion of Jesus
La place Bellecour

Come to peninsula area, it's very interesting! First, go to the place Bellecour (white LEGO Square) on the ground of the old city. Because there is a tourist center there, take a map to ask where the old Lyon street and the murals are, so as to arrange the itinerary. Founded in the 17th century, bailaiguo square is known as the largest pure ground square in Europe, without any green space, trees or obstacles. The biggest feature of the square is spacious and empty, and the ground is also very distinctive, all paved with red soil. The square was an important stage for the textile workers' uprising in Lyon in the mid-19th century, but the era of chaos with the most acute contradictions in capitalism has passed. In today's Square, in the afterglow of the sunset, young men and girls get together, pluck the strings, and match with soft folk songs, which is a poetic and picturesque scene. At the back of the square, on the hills of fuvelle, stands a Basilique Notre Dame de fourvi è re, which is regarded as the symbol of Lyon. There are two traces of the great French figures in this square. One is the riding statue of Louis XIV, the brilliant "Sun King" (just in the same era as Kangxi emperor of our country), which stands high in the center of the square, and is respected for making France the most powerful country in Europe at that time. Although he is also a powerful autocratic monarch who worships the supremacy of monarchy and "I am the country", the French people who stress freedom, equality and fraternity still retain many of his statues in all parts of France. The statue is surrounded by a wide stone platform, with bronze lions and gods of men and women sculptures on the left and right sides, symbolizing the Rhone and Thorne rivers, making this group of sculptures more perfect and rich. The famous part of this sculpture is also that it is said to be the life-long regret of the sculptor Lu Meng. When the statue was about to be completed, Lumeng found that he had made irreparable mistakes and almost committed suicide with shame. A closer look at the statue shows that King Louis' buttocks and feet are empty. Master Lumeng forgot to put a saddle on the back of a tall horse, and also forgot to carve stirrups under the feet of the great king.

Fourvi è re, fuweier district is located near the old city of Lyon. According to LP, the Romans built an ancient city in fuweier mountain more than 2000 years ago. The most convenient way to come from the center of Lyon is to take the subway to the old city station of Lyon, and then directly take the cable car to the mountain. Fuweier mountain is most famous for fuweier's Notre Dame church. There is not much to say about the scene of fuweier's Notre Dame church It will be introduced in the comments. In addition, there is an ancient Roman theater with a long history. Of course, it's necessary to go up to the fuweier mountain, where you can overlook the old city of Lyon and Lyon zone 1 and zone 2 on the other side of sa'une.

Lyon was originally a Roman colony, but now there are still some ruins. Now the ancient theater, which is composed of two semicircles, one large and one small, is still in good condition, with more than 10000 seats, which shows the grand scene at that time. It's not only an unearthed cultural relic theater for tourists to visit, but also a large-scale concert, concert, opera and other performances are held here from time to time, especially the concert performance on midsummer night. It's a special feeling to listen to the performance under the starry sky without barriers.

H? Tel de Ville is a classic work of 17th century architecture. On the west side of the square is a fountain. The designer of this fountain is the statue of liberty. On the east side is the modern opera house of Lyon. Built in the middle of the 17th century, it was damaged by fire in 1674 and restored in 1702 and 1853 respectively. Originally with a strong Louis XIII architectural style, the reconstructed town hall is decorated with Italian style statues and domes, which is the most humanized large-scale building in Lyon.

If you look for murals as a scenic spot, you can't find them, because even if you ask the local people, they don't know. We just follow the general search direction in the strategy. Fortunately, we finally came out of the old city and found it on the other side of the river. After reading it, I found that in fact, the attitude of the French people to integrate art into their life is nothing but decoration of the house.

Those who love movies must not! Yes! Wrong! Over! As the exhibition hall, the whole building is divided into many different exhibition halls, from film installation, special effect art, and miniature props. At the beginning of the year, Wes Anderson was chosen to go to the exhibition (originally he said he would go to the opening ceremony to cut the ribbon, but later it seemed that he cancelled the trip because of the terrorist attack). See "Budapest Hotel" and "the great fox father" and other props, super satisfied! But even without this special exhibition, it's worth seeing.
