We invite you to start your first day in Lyon, a city that stands at the confluence of two rivers, the Rhone and the Sona. It was here that the legends of silk weavers, gastronomic traditions and some of the most beautiful panoramas in all of Europe were born. Today you will visit: The Basilica of Notre-Dame de Furvier is a majestic 19th century temple built on a hill overlooking the most famous landscape Lyon Musée des Confluences is a futuristic museum in the shape of a crystal, where human history is combined with science and nature The Garden of Curiosity (Jardin des Curiosités) is a quiet observation deck with unforgettable views of the city Interesting fact: the Basilica of Notre Dame de Furvier was erected at the expense of the inhabitants of Lyon themselves in gratitude to the Virgin for saving the city during the war of 1870 - that is why it is called the Temple of Faith and Gratitude. We wish you a great start to your journey!
