Lyon’s geography is dominated by:the Rhône and Saône rivers that converge to the south of the historic city centre forming a peninsula or “Presqu’île”;two large hills, one to the west and one to the north of the historic city centre (the Fourvière and Croix-Rousse);and a large plain which sprawls eastward from the historic city centre. The local stone is mostly limestone and the soil has ferrous qualities.
The original medieval city (Vieux Lyon) was built on the west bank of the Saône river at the foot of the Fourvière hill, west of the Presqu’île. The Presqu’île itself was partly reclaimed and extended, to create a larger port area. Lyon is the the third largest city in France and capital of the Rhone departement. The main language is French but traditionally the people of Lyon speak several dialects of Arpitan language Some Franco-Provençal words are still present in the local language.

HISTORY
Lyon was founded on the Fourvière hill as a Roman colony in 43 BC. Owing to it’s position on the natural highway from northern to south-eastern France, it was a natural communications hub and became the starting point of the principal Roman roads throughout Gaul where, partly thanks to its convenient location at the convergence of two navigable rivers, it became the main city of Gaul. This status was lost after lead from the aqueducts was stolen and prevented them from functioning. This led to the reorganisation of the population around the Saone. During the sixteenth century King Francois I considered making Lyon capital of France.
During the Renaissance, the city developed with the silk trade, especially with Italy and the fairs in Lyon were an invention of the Italian merchants. These made it the economic counting-house of France in the late 15th century where its bourse (treasury) once resembled a public bazaar as accounts were settled in the open air. The Italian influence on Lyon can also be seen through its architecture.
Later, the city became an important industrial town owing to the silk trade which flourished there during the 19th century. The silk workers of Lyon, known as canuts, populated the most northern of the two hills of Lyon and this became known as the Croix-Rousse; “the hill that works”. It was during one of the two uprisings by the canuts that the first use of the black flag was employed as an emblem of protest. The world’s first funicular railway was built between Lyon and La Croix-Rousse in 1862.
Also serviced by a funicular railway is the hill to the west. The location of the highly decorated basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière, several convents, the palace of the Archbishop, the Tour métallique (a highly visible TV tower, replicating the last stage of the Eiffel Tower) has led to it’s being known as Fourvière; “the hill that prays”.The Basilica actually contains two churches, one on top of the other, one of which is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, who is said to have saved the city of Lyon from a cholera endemic sweeping Europe in 1823. The Basilica can be seen from many vantage points and its north tower affords a spectacular 180-degree view of Lyon and its suburbs; it has become a symbol of the city, receiving 1.5 million visitors annually.

Theatres are also very popular and numerous. The main Opera is the Opera Nouvel, designed by the famous architect Jean Nouvel and the Puppet theater Guignol is a place of entertainment for all age groups.
Cinema is another art which is very important to Lyon. In 1895, the brothers Lumiere invented the cinema,making Lyon internationally well-known for this 7th art. The Institut Lumiere is a good place to explore cinema, as it provides various services like a library, a series of different types of movies, from the blockbusters to the classics.

CULTURE: FESTIVALS AND FOOD
FESTIVALSDue to its rich and eventful history, Lyon has various festivals, but the most important and popular one is the Festival of Lights:The Festival of Lights (Fête des Lumières) is by far the most important event of the year. It lasts four days around the 8th of December. It was initially a traditional religious celebration: on December 8th, 1852, the people of Lyon spontaneously illuminated their windows with candles to celebrate the inauguration of the golden statue of the Virgin Mary (the Virgin had been the saint patron of Lyon since she allegedly saved the city from the plague in 1643). The same ritual was then repeated every year.In the last decade or so, the celebration turned into an
international event, with light shows by professional artists from all over the world. Those range from tiny installations in remote neighbourhoods to massive sound-and-light shows, the largest one traditionally taking place on Place des Terreaux. The traditional celebration lives on, though: during the weeks preceding December 8th, the traditional candles and glasses are sold by shops all over town. This festival attracts around 4 million visitors every year; it now compares, in terms of attendance, to the Oktoberfest in Munich.
FOODThe traditional restaurants in Lyon are called bouchons; the origin of the word is unclear (it literally means “cork”). They appeared at the end of the 19th century and flourished in the 1930s, when the economic crisis forced wealthy families to fire their cooks, who opened their own restaurants for a working-class clientele. These women are referred to as mères (mothers); the most famous of them, Eugénie Brazier, became one of the first chefs to be awarded three stars (the highest ranking) by the famous Michelin gastronomic guide. She also had a young apprentice called Paul Bocuse (now a very famous chef). Eating in a good bouchon is certainly a must-do.
Lyon is also famous for its wine, mainly because it is surrounded on the northern side by the Beaujolais Region and on the southern side by the Cote-du-Rhone Region.
They serve the typical local dishes:
> salade lyonnaise (Lyon salad): green salad with bacon cubes, croutons and a poached egg; > saucisson chaud: a hot, boiled sausage; can be cooked with red wine (saucisson beaujolais) or in a bun (saucisson brioché); > quenelle de brochet: dumpling made of flour and egg with pike fish and a crayfish sauce (Nantua sauce); > tablier de sapeur: marinated tripes coated with breadcrumbs then fried, even locals often hesitate before trying it; > andouillette: sausage made with chopped tripes, usually served with a mustard sauce; > gratin dauphinois: the traditional side dish, oven-cooked sliced potatoes with cream; > cervelle de canut (canut brain): fresh cheese with garlic and herbs. > rognons de veau à la moutarde: veal kidneys in a mustard sauce. Delicious and textural experience.

Rue Lucien Sportisse, 69001 LyonMetro: Croix Paquet
The Amphitheatre of the Three Gauls of Lugdunum (Lyon) was part of the federal sanctuary of the three Gauls dedicated to the cult of Rome and Augustus celebrated by the 60 Gallic tribes when they gathered at Lugdunum. In 1961, it was classified as monument historique.
2. Opéra National de Lyon
18 Rue Joseph Serlin, 69001 LyonMetro: Hôtel de Ville - Louis Pradel
A first theater was built here by Soufflot during the 18th century. Nevertheless, the theatre soon became too small and the architects Chenavard and Pollet rebuilt a brand new one in a neo-classical style in 1830. At the beginning of 1980s, out of age and not meeting the needs any more, the Opera had to be renewed. A competition for architects was thus launched and won in 1986 by Jean Nouvel.

THE ROUTE
WSAYEAR 3 BSc
1. Parilly Metro Station
Place Grandclément, 69200 Vénissieux1992, Françoise-Hélène Jourda & Gilles PerraudinPatrice GiordaClient: Sytral
To travel, between work and sleep, in the dark tunnels of the metro is a sad fate for the city dweller. The architecture of the stations comes at the right time, for escaping the city and one’s dreams, or to burrow into the bowels of the earth. Hourda and Perraudin offers us this precious moment of poetry. A forest of trees supports the canopy of this sunken cathedral. As a piece of contemporary archaeology, it is protected from the weather by a light veil, designed by the work of Patrice Giorda. Inspired by the great Antoni Gaudi, this work is part of the modern baroque challenge that all too often results in dry architecture.
2. Jean Apotre Church
Angle avenue Viviani, rue Berty Albrecht 1963, Alain chomel and Henri Beaupere
On the boundary at Lyon and Ventssieux at the crossroads of Avenue Viviani and Rue Berty Albrecht, on the fringes of an area with on East German feel, a church has discreetly been built. From the austere volume which occupies the acute angle of the two thor oughfares emerges a frail and sculptural bell tower. From it emanates a sober poetry in this place where architecture had never ventured until then. On entering into the shrine, one’s eyes are drawn towards the tip of the trian gle, illuminated only by the sky. The expressive force of the row concrete and its severe geometry create a serene place conducive to contemplation.
3. Place Halle
Place du 8 Mai 1945, 69008 Lyon2001,Françoise-Hélène JourdaClient:Le Grand Lyon
Markets have always been a place of sociability, a place for hellos; the themes of architecture. Françoise-Hélène Jourda illustrates this tradition in a district in search of identity. His work links the illustrated city by Tony Garnier to sad ensembles breaking up the road from Lyon to Vénissieux, in both the imaginary and in reality. This wooden structure, rustically squared, protects from the rain while maintaining the transparency between the walkway and the lawn. The service areas, enclosed by big black pebbles, are placed here and there. In places, the roof tears to let the light through the windows.

4. Cité Tony Garnier
70 – 80 boulevard des États-Unis1936, Tony Garnier, DirandClient: Lyon Municipal Council Housing Office
In open fields on both sides of the road connecting Lyon to Vénissieux, at the request of Édouard Herriot, Tony Garnier tried his hand at building the residen-tial district of the industrial estate he had envisaged in Rome at the beginning of the 20th century. Although economic realism buildings made the buildings much denser than originally planned, the urban framework allowed for a pedestrian street in the interior, inspired by the Utopian project, as well as the avenue accommodating a tramway since the spring of 2009. The mobilisation of the inhabitants saved the district from the ravages of the motorway. Their love of the site and its architecture gave rise to an interesting urban museum in 1988.
5. LebachutMedia Library Housing and Shopping Centre
Place du 11 novembre 1918, known as ‘Pioet du flochuf’, rue Marius Berliet 69008 Lyon 2007, Bruno Dumetier, Dominique, Gautier and Stephane ConquetClients: Opac du Rhone, Lyons city council, Meunier Rhone-Alpes, Casino
Previously, this crossroods was characterised by a disparate collection of buildings, its defining features being the Maison de la Danse, the local council offices and the heavy road traffic. What is more, the triangle concerned by this operation consisted of three long, rectangular 1960s tower blocks offering little way of charm. The brief given to the architects was a tough one: to bring some calm to the chaos with a homogenous, multi- use development. The transparent box-shape of the MedioLibrary in the square adds a touch of calm to the dishormonious surroundings, while the set of three identical blocks of housing and shops in Rue Berliet odds some gentle relief. A garden at the heart of the block goes bustle of the street.

The back of an old factory, which was bought by the city, was in need of expansion in order to store equipment. Ordinarily a banded and colorful “shoebox” like building would be considered sufficient; however a different process was used in this instance. Because of the simplicity of the program, they were free to explore the architectural design of the building. This resulted in a shed with an elegantly proportioned façade with a well translucent glass and wire mesh.

The charm of the discreet neighborhood Mont-chat, is in the numerous and inventive architec-tural pavilions, which are often accompanied by small strands of magnificent pare trees. This atmosphere is gradually eroded by the construction of collective tasteless buildings. However this small design offers a style of architecture worthy of the place. There are eighteen overlapping villas and duplexes, each with a terrace and patio and accessed by a set of spiral stairscases. This ingenious device breaks conformity with modes of living, and explores alternative ways into town.

Nestled in a bit of greenery, which has miraculously preserved the corner of two streets, this subtle edifice brings a little joy and humanity to a campus which is dominated by the sinister neoclassical composition of the medical school. The architecture of raw concrete, glass and metal meet harmoniously within the site. For example the lobby opens up onto alandscape largely exploiting the lower mounds, respecting the smaller plantations. The minimal use of style and materiality has inspired a sense of serenity in this place of study and reflection.

Succeeding Tony Garnier to teach architecture, Pierre Bourdeix became the master of neoclassic in Lyon. This elegant building is a tribute to the late modern movement in its dimensions based on Corbusier’s Le Modulor. Partly built on stilts, its immaculate mass with large glazed facades, goes against the traditional fine arts which dominates the neighbourhood. More discreetly than in the Edouard-Herriot hospital, designers from teckhne architects had to create an extension to provide, at the foot of the building, a key lyricism was lacking.

The project covers and area of 15 hectares and is located between the Tete d’ Or park and the Rhone river. The program consists of office and residential buildings, a con-gree center, a hotel, a casino, a multiscreen cinema and a museum of contemporary art. The scheme has been arranged modularly, with buildings paired, and reflected across the main road. The build-ings are an early example of double skin buildings; between two layers of terracotta and glass, there is a hollow space which acts as a heat exchanger.
11. MAISON DU DEPARTEMENT DU RHONE BY NICOLAS C. GUILIOT Address: 64 Rue du8 Mai 194869100VILLEURBANNE
An innovative architectural project for an administritive building, focusing on a more social dimension. The building plays on the principle of an archi-tectural duality: roadsive vs. courtside. The duality owes itself to an inver-sion of style. A fanciful yet humanised facade on the road side entrance is privilaged by direct sunlight and then a more academic facade opens onto the courtyard. This facade describes the regemented layout of the of-fices which make out the main body of the building. The resulting effect is a concilliation between the expressed “human condition” and the “urban condition.”

It consists of two parts: A poplar , crossing in its length by a bicycle path, a walk and a towpath. There is also an artificial pond that has an educational need. Finally, there is a wooden bridge with a length of two hundred meters, the park that spans the entire width and which links the Boulevard Laurent Bonnevay the Rhone. It was designed to give the impression of being suspended above the trees. It has resulted in a “green corridor” along the banks of the Rhone .

The site is surrounded by the neighborhoods of Vassieux and Montessuy in the city of Caluire-and-Bake.
VassieuxThe area owes its name to the owner of this territory, Pierre Vassieu. He had been entrusted in 1480 by the Duke of Savoy, Philibert I of Savoy. The field becomes Vassieux in 1710 , owned by the seminary of St. Irenaeus who was a nursing home for convalescents. The territory will be divided into two areas by a valley (which gave its name to the street Combe Martin): The Brush and St. Irenaeus. In 1763 , the Hospices Civils de Lyon acquire one third of the field Vassieux through the right of grazing. The field will then
be confiscated by the Revolution and then purchased by the Miss Barmondiere. He then became a convent of Dominicans in 1882 and purchased by the nuns of the Visitation of Fourvière in 1896 because their premises became too small. The school Edouard Herriot was inaugurated by Edouard Herriot himself in June 1931. The Church of Our Lady of Peace was built in the district in 1933. In 1948 , moved into the neighborhood community of the Sisters Poor Clares whose monastery is still visible today.
Montessuy
The Voie de la dombes is a cycle path / walking route through the neighborhood, and it forms a “boundary” of the neighborhood with Le Bourg. (green line on map)A citizen of Lyon , Pierre Vandemore , had in 1674 a house and land in these places named Montessuy. At his death on 3 July 1695 , he bequeathed his estate to the Hôtel-Dieu in Lyon who made a cottage hospital for the nuns.
The Fort de Montessuy Belt
Lyon is a set of fortifications established between 1830 and 1890 was built in 1831 by General Hubert Rohault Fleury to fortify Lyon. This fort was later used as barracks, its land field exercises. Following the Great War and the decrees of decommissioning, a neighborhood of houses and homes were built cheap.
PETER SALTER’S SITE
This section has undergone a considerable evolution in recent years, and this on both banks of the river. On the left bank, instead of building in the Fair of Lyon too cramped and transferred to Bron Chassieu , is now a set of contemporary buildings, the International City of Lyon , which includes the Art Museum Contemporary Lyon , movie theaters, an auditorium, the convention center and world headquarters of Interpol . It gives one side of the park or head and the river side of a new dock along the International City : the dock General de Gaulle.
On the right bank was recently opened Park St. Clair , and all landscaped promenade that stretches along the river bank, the entrance to St. Clair Poincaré to the bridge, and joined the district St. Clair in elevation from the river. So it is a large body that was created on either side of the Rhone: ecological, reserved for jogging, cycling, walking and relaxing on the right bank, the more culturally and economically on the left bank. There is need is a bridge to link the two banks, gateway should be released before the end of 2012, to give a perfect consistency.
In 1937 , they began building a classic work based on four concrete piles. From the beginning, we dedicated it to Raymond Poincare , President of the Republic of 1913 to 1921, Chairman from 1926 to 1929. In 1940 , work resumed the bridge, but the bridge was destroyed by the offensive of the German forces. The war slowed the work but they immediately begin until the total destruction of the arches dynamited by the Germans before their retreat. The bridge was rebuilt in 1950 . It was replaced by a temporary bridge of iron that remains in place until the
reopening of the bridge in its current state in 1989 . The railway viaduct is constructed of cast iron 1854 to 1857 to support the Lyon-Geneva merged that year with the PLM . It allows the passage today by Collonges tunnel to the west of France and to Paris, since the TGV borrow. It is a few meters from the parallel highway bridge Raymond Poincare.Damaged by the Germans in 1944, it was fully reopened to traffic in 1946.
Bridge
You’ve heard of a bridge that connects the 6th district of Lyon and Saint Clair in our neighborhood? Perhaps you waiting impatiently! It is the great urban project launched by the Grand Lyon. The project will normally commence mid-2010. The book, dedicated to the soft modes, will be approximately 220 meters and will establish a connection path between the two sides. The poles tertiary case and Congress of the International City of St. Clair will be well connected - (Dietmar Feichtinger Architects)Caluire Tunnel Runs under the site and is part of the Lyon Ring Road and was Constructed between 1994 and 1996.

Roman Lyon
Roman LyonLyon was founded on the Fourvière hill in 43 BC by Munatius Plancus, a lieutenant of Caesar. Lugdunum was previously the site of a Gaulish hill-fort settlement called Lugodunon from the Celtic god Lugus and dúnon (hill-fort). Lugus was equated by the Romans to Mercury.
Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa recognized Lugdunum’s natural position made it an ideal communications hub between north and south. Thus Lyon became the source of the principal Roman roads throughout Gaul. It soon became the Gaulish capital, partly thanks to its location at the convergence of two navigable rivers. The Emperors Claudius and Caracalla were born in the city.
Today, the archbishop of Lyon is still referred to as “Primat des Gaules” and the city often referred to as the “capitale des Gaules”.

Gallo-Roman Theatres - Fouvière HillLyon was founded as Lugdunum by the Romans in 43 B.C. as the capital of the Three Gauls, and many Roman buildings survive to this day. The landscape of Lyon is dominated by two hills: to the west Fourvière and to the east Croix-Rousse. Fouvière was the site of the first Roman settlements and is today marked by two surviv-ing Roman theatres: the large theatre and the Odeon.
The large theatre was built in two steps: around 15 BC, a theatre with a 90 m diameter was built next to the hill. At the beginning of the 2nd century, the final construction added a last place for the audience. The diameter is 108 m, and there were seats for 10,000 people. The large theatre was built in two steps: around 15 BC, a theatre with a 90 m diameter was built next to the hill. At the beginning of the 2nd century, the final construction added a last place for the audience. The diameter is 108 m, and there were seats for 10,000 people. It forms a pair with the odeon, one of only two such pairs in Gaul (the other is in Vienna).
LARGE THEATRE
The Odeon, a small theatre reserved for musical productions, was built near the summit of the Fourvière hill around 100 A.D. as an extension of the theater dur-ing the reign of Hadrian. It has a 73-meter diameter and a 3,000-seat capacity, which justifies its clas-sification, as an Odeon, i.e., a covered building used for musical performances and public reading, less popular than the theater performances. It was also used as meeting room for the notables of the city. The Odeon’s pavement has a geometric composition made of the costliest colored stones in the Roman world: green porphyry from Greece, red porphyry from Egypt, yellow marble from Africa, and violet and red marble from Asia Mi-nor. The presence of such materials is an indicator of the monument’s prestige. They allow a glimpse at the luxury of this edifice before it was transformed into a quarry around 500 AD.

Sites of Interest
Baptistery and Vestiges of the Churches of St. Etienne Archaeological garden, north of St. Jean Cathedral (5th arrondissement). Free entry. This location was home to two churches which, with the cathedral, were the center of activity for Lyon’s religious officials, in the heart of the first communities of Christians. During the 1970s, a portion of their ruins was discovered during a dig and restored, then preserved, in the garden cre-ated for this purpose.
Roman Baths (2nd-3rd centuries AD) – Rue des Farges. In this sector of Fourvière Hill, which was densely occupied during Antiq-uity, archaeologists uncovered constructions on three graduated ter-races. Only the two lower terraces are visible. Above is the façade of a house constructed along a street running north to the Theatre. Below are the imposing foundations of a vast network of public baths, which were located under the present-day Lycée Jean Moulin. There is a current development plan for this area under the Rhone gov-ernance.
St. Laurent de Choulans: Basilica and Necropolis (late C5th- C6th)Access by guided visit only (please contact the Gallo-Roman Museum of Fourvière). Located under a modern building in a loop of the Tunnel access lanes, this ensemble dating to the beginning of the Christian era was excavated in 1947.The vestiges are visible from several points of view on the site. Only the foundations of the north half of the Church have been preserved, as well as the large number of sarcophagi. These sarcophagi are a spectacu-lar remainder of a funeral practice common during the era, in which the faithful were buried in the underground portion of the cult site.
St. Just: Basilica and Necropolis (4th- 8th centuries)A Gallo-Roman dwelling, a mausoleum of one of the first bishops of Lyon, and a restored basilica successively occupied this terrace suspended above the Saône River from the 4th to the 13th century. The site was ex-cavated in the 1970s. Today it reveals the partially restored foundations of worship sites. Surrounding it are the preserved sarcophagi found in the basilica’s interior.

Preservation LawsThere is no legal protection that is specific to the area of Lyon within the ancient defences that is proposed for inscription on the World Heritage List. However, there is a series of interlocking statutory protection zones that cover most of the area.Vieux-Lyon, (beside the site) is protected by a Plan for Preservation and Enhancement as a Secteur Sauvegardé under the provisions of the 1962 Law; it was, in fact, the first to be so designated in France, in 1964 under the so-called “Malraux Law.”
The city has a Comprehensive Development Plan (Plan d’occupation des sols - POS), which defines areas of special historical importance and lays down regulations regard-ing all forms of intervention. There is a large number of buildings and monuments in Lyon that are protected under the basic 1913 antiquities law. Each of these is surround-ed by a protection zone of 500m diameter in which all interventions require Ministerial authorization. These perimeters overlap and cover the entire area proposed for inscrip-tion on the List.

Gallo-Romains Musee
The Gallo-Roman Museum was inaugurated in November 1975. It is a building com-pletely integrated into the site and almost invisible from the exterior. Inside, the usual system of exhibit rooms was abandoned in favour of spaces following along a large helical ramp. The building’s structure therefore allows a complete visit of the museum following a natural pathway suggested by the descent. The architecture, which is de-liberately sober, puts emphasis on the works themselves, evoking spatial and thematic connections. A well placed above a mosaic connects habitat to religion, while the large bay windows showcase the exhibit’s antique theaters.
Born 1911, Bernard Zehrfuss entered the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Beaux Arts at the age of 17. In 1939, he was awarded the Prix de Rome. While serving in the military during the Syrian conflict, he discovered the writings of Le Corbusier. City planner, then architect, he succeeded a generation of first-wave Modernist architects including Perret and Le Corbusier, who popularized the usage of new materials. His path was emblematic of the “Trente Glorieuses,” the thirty years following the Second World War, which were marked by the urgency of reconstruction, the persistence of the housing crisis and the lack of nationwide city planning. His major works, such as the Palais des Expositions du CNIT at La Défense and the Palais UNESCO in Paris, elevated him to a quasi-official status of “standard bearer” of modern architecture.

A History of Villeurbanne
A neighbouring city of Lyon, historically Villeurbanne was a city where the poor peasants lived. This created tension with Lyon, which was much wealthier.It can be seen as the 10th arrondissement because the urban continuity with Lyon is obvious. However it very much has its own identity due to it being an industrial town.
Mairie Villeurbanne - Town House
Gratte-Ciel - Apartment Buildings
TNP - Théâtre National Populaire
Gratte-Ciel (1931-1934t)A development in the 1930s that comprise of the city hall, the National Popular Theatre and housing buildings, which were 19 stories high. Gratte-Ciel means skyscrapers.Although by American standards, even at the time of its construction it is far from being a skyscraper. But by European standards it was pretty high. The whole development of these skyscrapers is based on Art Deco, the arrangement and composition of the buildings are very symetrical.
Lyon Villeurbanne
Comparisons between
general architecture in
Lyon and Villeurbanne.
A more vibrant
nature versus a monotonous
nature.
This is also reflected in the architecture of the city.Due to it being an industrial town, Villeurbanne has always had left-wing inclination, and during the first decades of the 20th Century, Villeurbanne was governed by the Communist Party. The left-wing influence is still evi- dent at the present day.One of the most notable legacy of the communist rule is the development of Gratte-Ciel. It is very prominent in the city of Villeurbanne.
